I Really Don't Want To Say Goodbye

If I Can Get Some Student Interested In Science, If I Can Show Members Of The General Public What's Going On Up There In The Space Program, Then My Job's Been Done.

When I'm 60, Maybe, I'll Look At My Pile Of Papers And Wonder, What Really Happened That Year?

I Will Go Around The Space Shuttle And Give A Guided Tour Of The Major Areas And Describe What Is Done In Each Area. This Will Be Called The Ultimate Field Trip.

I Really Don't Want To Say Goodbye To Any Of You People.

It Was Hard Telling Those Kids...that I Wasn't Going To Be There This Year. And I Knew I Was Going To Miss Them. I Won't Have An Opportunity To See Them Again, Unless They Stop By The House. Now During The Summer, I Got Lots Of Notes; Kids Would Stop By The House. I'd Be Pulling Weeds Or Something And They Would Come Up And Give Me A Hug And Say, 'oh, I Can't Believe It, This Is So Wonderful!' And Just Get Very Excited About It. It Was Hard Not Being In School. I Would Have Loved To Have Gone Back To School.
