"Several things I learned on that first visit were important to my work in space. It is a special pleasure to see this museum and the outstanding way the exhibits are presented, and it is a privilege to have my flight suit and other objects in it." Thornton's items will be featured in a future exhibit.[/i]</BLOCKQUOTE>
