The STS-51L astronauts meet with teacher Christa McAuliffe and her backup Barbara Morgan for the first time in the crew's office at JSC in September 1985. Missing is Greg Jarvis, who was probably still assigned to another flight at the time the pictures was taken.

Though not clear, I assume that Christa is being handed an 'apple for the teacher'. A poignant reminder Ed.

A very good (though certainly sad) choice for this week, Ed.

Wow. It just doesn't seem like so long ago.
