T-Bone - Name Droppin'

Lisa Hassell

Lisa Hassell died of a brain tumor...she was 45 and a friend. I regret not staying in touch with her and Byron over the last 12 years since leaving Clearwater.

I will see her again, on the other side of the sea. :)

Waco and Oklahoma City

This is the 17th anniversary of Waco and 15th of the bombing in Oklahoma City. I recall watching the Waco tragedy and wondering where in the world Waco was in Texas. In 2005, I found out as we left Houston, along with 2.4 million poeple fleeing from Hurricane Rita!

We drove to Waco and then a little more westward to Hamilton and stayed with Keith and Sharon Felton, old friends from Georgetown, KY.

I remember the bombing in Oklahoma City was also a snow day for us in Cynthiana, KY and our exchange student, Frauke, loved playing in the snow as we watched the horrible pieces of the bombing being put together.

Viewing California From Kansas!

This is a cool space station site!


Ed took this photograph of the Earth’s horizon from a spacecraft position over Dodge City, Kansas, looking westward out the window. In the lower right is the Great Salt Lake. At the left side in the distance are the Sierra Nevada Mountains with elevations between 12,000 and 15,000 feet, and coastal California. ISS007-E-9986 (July 11, 2003, 50 mm lens)
