Farewell Columbia J. M. Strother Again the news rips at my heart Seven lives, in but a moment, gone. Seven hopes and seven dreams; Fathers, brothers, sisters, mothers. What cruel fate takes away these brave, The pioneers so shortly on our shores? Their lives so blessed, yet so quickly taken away, To leave a hole in our very souls. Crush not our dreams, oh cruel fate. Crush not our hopes, for we refuse to yield. Farewell Columbia, bright spirit in the sky. In memoriam: STS-107, January 16-February 1, 2003 Commander Rick D. Husband, Pilot William C. McCool, Payload Specialist Michael P. Anderson, Mission Specialist Kalpana Chawla, Mission Specialist David M. Brown, Mission Specialist Laurel B. Clark, Payload Specialist Ilan Ramon.

Jon: "Again the news rips at my heart Seven lives, in but a moment, gone." Thanks for your tribute. This tragedy brought back a lot of memories for me, too.
