Ten years ago I was skiing in Ruidoso, New Mexico, when I saw the news about Columbia. The shuttle broke up right over Lubbock. I met Willie McCool's father while working at the gun shop last year. Now that I work at Tech he offices across the parking lot. Barry, if you happen to see this, your son was, and is, a true hero. He, and the crew of Columbia, will beforever be an inspiration.
