- The video "Rocket Maker" was originally part of the "Now Show," and has host Ruth Sheehan interviewing 14-year-old 4-H Club member Randy Killebrew of Edgecombe County, N.

Killebrew also talks about his interest in electric engineering and his hope to attend N. C. State in the future. (He would go on to graduate from here with a B.S. in Engineering Operations in December 1982).
