Air and Space Friend

Honored by:
Mr. Lawrence D. East

Please put "Don & Linda East" as one name on the Wall of Honor. We were deeply in love and happily married for over thirty years when she died suddenly on January 13, 2002 from an aneurysm.

Linda was an elementary educator who always stressed the importance of our space program to all of her students over the years. For our 30th anniversary, we went to Kennedy Space Center and watched the space shuttle Atlantis launch. The year before that, we went to the Visitor complex and toured the whole facility. Linda even put in an application for Space Camp as a teacher but never got to go.

I would be honored to have our names on the wall together. I just couldn't be there by myself as we always did everything together.
