From a post by Ramona DeFelice Long, author and editor. I just couldn’t pass up spreading this about Sally Ride.
“Last week, the United States Postal Service unveiled a Forever stamp honoring astronaut Sally Ride.
Sally Ride was a physicist and astronaut. When she was a student at Stanford University, she and 8000 other people responded to a NASA ad in the student newspaper. The ad was an open call seeking applicants for the US space program. Sally answered the call, and the rest is history.”

Thank you, Ramona for this reminder of a wonderful woman. And go buy some of these stamps!
Great news!
Time to start honoring women!
FANTASTIC! I’ll be standing in line at the post office to get these stamps.
Beat you to it!
impressive and emotional, as we lived in Houston, TX – NASA-area for 5 years… <3
She was one of my heroes!
