Smilies Legend
[i]When Paul and Rachel Higgins' 12-year-old son Alex died in 1999, there were many things he never had a chance to do. Primarily, he would never get the chance to fulfill his dream of becoming the first chef in space and he would never meet Rick Linnehan, the astronaut raised in New Hampshire who would ultimately make Alex's dream of going into space a reality, even if it was only his photo. Last Tuesday, Paul Higgins watched Linnehan's space shuttle Endeavor lift off from Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The Bedford man said it was hard to put into words what it was like for him, watching as his son's photo was taken into space. Linnehan also took a piece of the planetarium's memorabilia up into space with him for this mission -- a button commemorating a groundbreaking ceremony for the Alan Shepard Discovery Center.[/i]
