Greetings!
I wanted to take a moment in this trying time to reach out to all of you and to let you know that we have you all in our prayers during this pandemic. I would like to say that we here at SHADES OF BLUE are still engaged with our mission, and we all will surface from this crisis in better shape. Please continue to be safe and follow all guidelines that will curtail the duration and severity of these unusual times.

Stay strong. We will emerge by continuing to look towards a brighter future together.
I would also like to take a moment to acknowledge the passing of a great hero: Mrs. Katherine Goble Johnson. Mrs. Johnson, one of the last surviving members of the ‘Hidden Figures’ passed away on February 24 th, 2020. She was instrumental in developing the mathematics necessary for Astronaut John Glenn’s first orbital flight around the world in 1962, and continued working with NASA throughout the Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, and Space Shuttle Missions.

Our hearts and prayers go out to the family. Katherine was a treasured personal friend that will be truly and deeply missed.

Sincerely,
Captain Willie L. Daniels II
President, SHADES OF BLUE
