Byron won't admit it....but he is ALMOST as old as I am!! BIG :-)) But not quite! All of us old geezers get problems, if not like By's others, just as bad or worser! We are all mortal, and the events of this morning, over Texas, point that out, big time. Let us all spend a moment with whichever deity we admit to, with a prayer not only for the seven who left in a blaze of glory, today, but the four who left us in Afganistan a few days ago, when their chopper crashed. They died as well, but as their passing was less spectacular, only their relatives, friends and buddies will remember their passing. Not to diminish, in any way the sacrifice of the seven this morning, but we would do well to remember all of the service men and women, who leave us in the service of their countries. As we, in Canada have a fairly large presence in the space program, I feel it only fitting that we remember all who have left us, in the duty to our respective countries, beginning with the three guys who died on the launch pad, so many years ago.
