Thank you for that perspective.

I needed to remember that.

She used to say that "She" (the SR-71, aka the Lady in Black) knew when you were looking out the window and gave you a little bump to remind you that you were working.

Dasher is one of the good ones. Puppage was insensitive considering the topic of this thread, and apparently doesn't know dink about airplanes.

Sorry to hear about this outstanding pilot's untimely demise.

FYI...

Bob Meyer and family have set up a fund in the memory of Marta. One of Marta's passions in life was getting young women involved in the sciences. She gave many talks to many young women over the years, passing along her interest, knowledge, and the importance of women in the sciences.

Bob would like to honor Marta's passion through a Memorial Fund that would provide capitol for scholarships and education programs for young women interested in science.

Bob has requested no flowers at Marta's memorial services and would appreciate a donation to her fund instead.

The Memorial Fund has been set up at Bank of America. You may go to any location to make a donation. Please provide the following:

Routing #121000358

Acct# 2469941400

and make the contribution to: Marta Bohn-Meyer Memorial Fund

Thank you!!!

We are talking about a woman who ~lived~ risks, not avoided them.

My only wish is to die while enjoying that which I love the most......

My worst nightmare is to die in my cubicle at work........
