I was saddened to learn of John's passing. What was more surprising was that I did not realize he had moved to Herington, where I live. I found out that his late uncle and his living aunt were the ones in Herington. John's uncle gave me a Challenger Memorial Service folder from the 1986 service at Johnson Space Center. His uncle had mentioned a nephew where he got this from. Rest in peace John. You had a wonderful career with NASA and the Air Force. |
