   I had the opportunity and pleasure of working for Don in his post-astronaut career at SAIC. A great guy and I learned a great deal from him. He hired me shortly before Christmas in Dec 1994. Realizing that my wife and I knew absolutely no one in Houston at that point, he drove over to my hotel on Christmas day and took us over to his house to enjoy Christmas with his family. God Speed Don.
