New York Times, Friday, July 21, 1989 (page A11) carried the obituary
for George Koopman, founder of the American Rocket Company (AMROC).
He was killed when his car overturned on the way to the Air Force
Astronautics Laboratory at Edwards AFB, California.

George was a man with a vision and the capacity to overcome
towering obstacles in the way of space commercialization.
He will be sadly missed -- especially by those of us who knew him..
