Tradgedy strikes the Gates Brothers

DateMonday, December 28, 2009 at 5:27PM

I just heard about this, happening right before Christmas it seems, on the 21st. Erik Gates, of the Gates Brothers rocketry family team, fell through a skylight while working at his job as an electrician. He apparently fell about 30 feet and died from blunt force trauma. The story is posted here.
