After the past 5 days of watching NASA SELECT live on cable, my spousal
equivelent has come up with a quesiton that this illustrious body is
perhaps best qualified to answer.

What is Tammy's (Houston CAPCOM, usually day shift, although she was at
the console for orbit 91, a few minutes ago) background?  What is her
educational background, her exact title, what does she do when a shuttle
is not in orbit, and how did she qualify for the position?

Our thanks in advance, and "The Attack of the Killer Tomatoes" proves
that the American sense of humor is alive and well in the space program!
