May Your Future Be Limited Only By

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.

I Will Have A One-hour Program Called The Mission Watch, Where I Will Describe Details Of The Mission And Give Additional Information About The Lessons From Space.

Space Is For Everybody. It's Not Just For A Few People In Science Or Math, Or For A Select Group Of Astronauts. That's Our New Frontier Out There, And It's Everybody's Business To Know About Space.

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.
