  8.  @john-paulsilke893  I am ashamed to admit that I don't anything at all about these women! I am looking them up! When I was growing up, our neighbor was Dr. Loren Acton, a solar physicist who was picked for a space shuttle mission. It was a complete accident of fate that he was put on the challenger 6 months before the second crew went up and were killed. He trained with all those people for a year or so and it was heartbreaking. He was such a cool neighbor that I was actually invited by NASA to the launch (and didn't go because I couldn't get time off the lame slave job I had...talk about a missed opportunity! I have regretted that my entire life. Now, when something special comes up, I jump! ). He also gave me patches that had gone into space and signed a book on space to me, which I HAVE kept carefully. His son, my friend since the age of 4, lived with us during the time his dad was training back east so he could finish high school (We used to drive to the beach at night, listening to The Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy, and had the only truly scary paranormal experience of our lives). Because of my desire to explore the world and be an "artist", I dropped out of school and left Palo Alto and all my soon to be billionaire classmates so I could be poor and suffer for art. I certainly did, but my only regret is not finishing my education. I am a voracious reader, and as soon as I could, started amassing a library. I've never regretted missing out on the internet explosion, because I've been almost unbelievably fortunate all my life, but I will always try to catch up on my education.
