It's Not The Olympics. It's Concord, New

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.

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.

It's Not The Olympics. It's Concord, New Hampshire, And A Homecoming Should Reflect The Community I'm Part Of.

I Told Them How Excited I Would Be To Go Into Space And How Thrilled I Was When Alan Shepard Made His Historic Flight, And When John Kennedy Announced On The News That The Men Had Landed Safely On The Moon, And How Jealous I Was Of Those Men.
