Mike Griffin Bids Farewell
NASA News Update with Mike Griffin (Transcript)
“I am officially on duty until noon, Eastern Time, on the 20th, but the government is closed down on Monday and Tuesday for all the obvious reasons. So today is my last chance to visit with everybody, and I thought I would finish up my term in the way that I started, talking to the NASA employees in an All Hands. …
… I made a few notes because I didn’t want to forget any more people than I have to forget, which will inevitably be some, and so, if I forget you as I say thanks, all I can ask is forgiveness.”
Editor’s note: One person notably absent from the thank you list was the man who appointed Griffin to be NASA Administrator in the first place i.e. President Bush.
