Hi y'all, How fortunate you were to see the shuttle. It was cloudy here and all I got was the sonic boom. Sure wish I could have seen it. We were living in Florida when the very first--whatever they called it then--went up. We even saw Sputnik! And yes, it can be genealogy related. A lot of what we hand down to our children is oral history. Gladys LaGrange de Villiers [email protected] http://www.geocities.com/Paris/Gallery/3653
