	I have been collecting both expressions of grief and of support
	( and a few against) the manned space program from both USENET,
	UUCP mail (in response to an earlier message) and from
	FIDONET.  I have been in touch with Senator Garn's office, and
	they are VERY interested in receiving these.  I will be
	printing the whole thing out, and taking it to his office in a
	week or so.  This is a way to make your thoughts known.

	PLEASE, this is not a joke.  We need to do something to show
	how we stand on this issue.  We need to express our support for
	those who survive and for those who MUST go on.  The future of
	our children is in space.  We can not, we must not, allow a few
	to deny them their future.  Send your messages, either directly
	to me, or in either net.space or net.columbia.  I have plenty
	of disk space.

		The Dream is, and must remain, alive!
