Sandra,
What did you major in while you attended college? And which university or college did you attend?

Hi Sandra- In the summer of 1999, our family visited the NASA Space Center in Florida. My kids (one of whom is now a MS&T student) had a great time. We all bought shirts. A short while later, we were visiting Belleville and went shopping with my grandmother at Wal-Mart. A very nice lady saw my NASA shirt and stopped me-- "My daughter is an astronaut!" -- it was your mother. She was so excited to tell us about your work with NASA. I am happy to see that your mission is underway and wish you a successful time is space!

Hi Sandra,
Please compare the state of your excitement on this flight to your previous time in space.
Thank you and God's blessings.
