I had been planning on taking my mother to California this summer, but after reading Francis' post about Sally Ride, I "encouraged" my mother to move up our travel plans. Dr. Ride gave an entertaining and enjoyable talk. As a science teacher myself, I was thrilled to see so many young girls in attendance. Dr. Ride happily answered questions and signed copies of her book.I'd also like to thank Francis personally for posting the event, and even more so for recognizing me! The Air and Space Museum in San Diego is a must see!</TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#494949"><TD valign=top>FFrench</TD><TD>Thanks for the feedback!
