When and How the Club was Founded

A temporary transplant from Seattle, Gus Gustafson, told David Roberts about gay square dancing. David went to the '91 Miami convention and was so inspired, he and Gus started a group called the WhoSoEver Squares. It soon dissolved and reformed as the Rocket City Rainbow Squares.

Why Rocket City?'

"NASA has a large installation here and participates in the design and testing of everything from the Saturn 5 to the Space Shuttle and Space Station." Huntsville is also home to "Earth's Largest Space Museum."
