Excellent, my son is joining me in DC this weekend. I was planning on

perfect!

Unfortunately, Mr. Hickam's flights were delayed on Saturday so he
missed his appearances. But he will be at the Sunday Folkfair.

Thank you,

Hmm, I didn't make it anyway, (my son was enjoying some of the exhibits at
the NASM too much :-)

Alas, I was unable to meet Mr. Hickam. My son and I got out of my apartment
later than I planned.

We did however spend most of the day at the NASA tents. It was quite
enjoyable.

Even had the pleasure of talking a bit with an associate of Mary's from
Dryden.

(Hmm that almost sounds like a good medieval title, "The Grand Duchess of
Speed, Mary of Dryden")

....That's actually a demotion. As you'll recall, I canonized her a few
years back :-)
