As a school project the children at the Ketler Elementary School in Westwood, NJ were given a make believe person called "Flat Stanley" who was to go on adventures for 2 weeks, then his adventures described by each student to his classmates. Challenger Center Rocket Club member Joseph Fleming's Flat Stanley went for a rocket ride at the Pine Island, NY launch site.

Flat Stanley was packed into the payload section of an Apogee rocket. Flat Stanley probably flew about 2100 ft powered by an Aerotech G40. Recovery was out in the nearby field. Stanley survived no worse for wear. Rocket Launchers were Joseph Fleming Jr. (Challenger Center Rocket Club Member) and Tommy Connelly (Guest).
