Your Reply: HTML is ON UBB Code is ON Smilies Legend	[QUOTE]Originally posted by FFrench: [B]As you will no doubt have heard, my last boss, Sally Ride, passed away today. Sally was - and always will be - America's first woman in space. But that historic achievement wasn't enough. She is an inspiring example of how reaching one goal can lead to inspiring hundreds of thousands of others to reach their own dreams. Though the company she founded, Sally Ride Science, she went on to launch the ambitions of countless (and I literally mean countless) young people in new careers in science, math and engineering. I saw kids who never thought they would have the ability to achieve in these fields reach remarkable, life-changing goals. In a day when her space legacy will be much discussed, it's important to remember that this was just one step in a remarkable lifetime of achievement. To the team of former and present co-workers I had when I was her Director of Events, my thoughts are with you on this difficult day. <BLOCKQUOTE><center><a href="http://www.collectspace.com/review/ffrench/obituary_sallyride01-lg.jpg" target="AirLock"><img src="http://www.collectspace.com/review/ffrench/obituary_sallyride01.jpg" width="400" height="300" border="0"></a></center> [i]Photo I took of Sally Ride's shadow and her jacket when we were doing a San Diego TV interview.[/i]</BLOCKQUOTE>[/B][/QUOTE]
