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
