HOME                                                               Some of the Cronies gather for a photo . . .
       The "Cronies" are a unique group of about a dozen friends from all over the United States who, for the past many years, engage annually in various male-bonding adventure outings which have included: white water rafting down the Arkansas River through Royal Gorge, backpacking llamas up Mt. Harvard almost 14,000 feet in the Collegiate range on the Continental Divide, stalking buffalo in the tall grass prairie of Northern Oklahoma armed only with disposable cameras to see who could get the best pictures without getting maimed, Swamp Romping with Cajun associates in Louisiana, and we were the hit of the Great Mississippi Hot Air Balloon Race in Natchez, MS, as the NASA Hot Air Balloon Team,   just to mention a few of our adventures. . . . all are pilots or involved in aviation, and most have some association with NASA. The ranks include retired Air Force Colonels, a forensic CPA, a commercial jet engine overhaul specialist, a three-time NASA shuttle commander, an aerospace Ph.D. educator, a worn out TV journalist, a NASA educator who was instrumental in the teacher in space program, and other colorful characters. A photomontage of several of the adventures are here for cronies and friends to visit. After each adventure, a merciless "Cronygram" goes out to participants. An example from a wild snowmobile trip to Grand Lake is presented here to share our genuine fun and comradeship with others!
