[i]I was part of the "problem" in the treatment of women astronauts... not just gay women. (FYI, I suspected Sally was gay. I think most of the TFNG males had similar suspicions but it was never discussed.) ... I had long thought of writing Sally, herself, but kept putting it off to "tomorrow." Eventually, we run out of "tomorrows," as I did when I heard the news of Sally's death. I had no idea she was ill. So, I was never able to apologize to her.[/i]
[i]...Sally was a remarkable woman and faced enormous obstacles with courage and dignity. I have four granddaughters and when they get older, I will encourage them to read Lynn [Sherr's] book. I want them to have an appreciation for the sacrifices women like Sally (and each of you) made to secure a future in which they won't be constrained in pursuing their own dreams.[/i]
