Robert Pearlman Editor Posts: 42981 From: Houston, TX Registered: Nov 1999	posted 03-07-2014 07:54 AM If I recall correctly, the bookmark was created for and distributed to employees in 2003. At the time, there would have been no need to explicitly remind them of the loss, it was fresh in everyone's mind. It was intended as a tribute to the crew and a reminder to space program workers to stay diligent in their job. I think the photos of the STS-107 crew said more than any inscription could (at least at the time).

So they were done right after the accident. Two captains and one firefighter from my station got sent to TX as single resources the first month after it happened.
