My Hero
Today I would like to take the opportunity to celebrate one of my favorite heroes. Someone who served his country in the Air Force as a test pilot (awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross and retired as a Major General), was the first director of the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum (my favorite museum and a dream job), and Astronaut (my favorite).
Congratulations to Michael Collins, and those other guys on Apollo 11, who made the possibilities endless.
Paul "Happy 40th" Murphy

Dear Mr. Murphy,
This is your daily reminder to push up your nerd glasses. You're welcome.
It's cool. I still like you ;)

Next time you are in our town I'll try to find my copy of "The Last Man on the Moon: Astronaut Eugene Cernan and America's Race in Space". Anyone with nerd glasses would probably enjoy it. Amber's Dad :)
