Dale Myers has passed May 19, 2015 in La Costa, California, it is now reported.

Dale was twice a NASA deputy administrator — first just before Apollo 13 and then again after the Challenger shuttle accident. But he started out in aviation becoming a vice president at North American Aviation as one of the chief engineers of Apollo from the beginning. He also worked on X-15. A gentleman who was known from his eye patch.

Francis French pays tribute to Dale Myers in his invited editorial for the Times of San Diego:
Every day, it seems, I read a new article talking about how NASA has lost its bold vision, and that new visionaries are needed to push our space program in exciting directions. The truth, I believe, is a little more down to earth. NASA needs more money to be able to do ever-bolder things. The visionaries, the thinkers and doers, are already in place, and have been for decades. There are always bright people around ready to push new challenges.

It is more a matter of chance that some people get to shine: they are in the right place at the right time when they are needed. That is not to say that these people are not special; they worked hard to get into the position they held when history happened to need them. Dale Myers, who passed away in May at the age of 93, was one of them...
