Some sad news: Wally Schirra 1923~2007 A true HERO in every sense...
I was saddened, and frankly a little shocked, to have learned today via an IM from Keith Downing of the passing of Wally Schirra at the age of 84. Wally was the only astronaut to have flown on all of the first three NASA programs in Space: Mercury, Gemini...
very sad; I was going to bring my daughter to meet him when he was in LA for
Hour Vision presentation, but had conflicting commitments. A sad passing of living history... TM
