Good morning all,
 Life presents many challenges and over the years I have shared so much with you, had the opportunities to visit so many of your schools, the pleasure of meeting you, and I think more than anything, shared the magic of the space program....when we had the shuttle flights I was able to get hundreds of you VIP passes to see a launch from the space center which I know is such a highlight, bucket list...and through you I have been able to meet tens of thousands of kids, all ages, creating so much hope and instilling confidence....we found out last week, as we had been warned, that many of us would lose our position under the current contract which has been descoped, eliminating many jobs....mine was one...it has been such a wonderful experience...I will be forever grateful for what I have experienced here, the never ending magic of the history, fascinating structures, always finding something new to share with you, and always dreaming of maybe somehow, someway....going to "space "...I will stay assigned to NASA's speakers bureau....I know so many schools are getting back to school this week while others are already back and more still have a few weeks so I may repeats this, just to be sure I don't lose any contacts...I will continue to visit schools, send out the group email, and have access to KSC through a volunteer program....so other than loss of income, LOL, hopefully everything will continue .... I will be here through the middle of September but as of tomorrow I will stop corresponding through work and use my home computer and email....please change my contact info to: fordgabe at netzero.com<mailto:fordgabe at netzero.com> my cell, if you need me for anything: 321 698-9407. What I thought about doing, as I send out the group emails, is to include a special memory to share with you, not because of sadness but because it will be a reminder of some of the special adventures Kennedy Space Center has provided that we have shared....wishing you all a wonderful day...we have to remember to always do our best, enjoy everything we do, live in the present, make each day special, let those we care about most know, smile, and have fun...Gabe

Gabe's memory :)  Such a special event....I was able to attend the first launch from a VIP vantage point as one of the guys working with me received a special car pass and it was absolutely amazing...you can always tell the first launch because it is the only one with the tank painted white....

This was sent to me by a very caring teacher, as are most of you, I hope you will take a few minutes to read it.... http://momastery.com/blog/2014/01/30/share-schools/

JAXA is delaying the launch from the Tanegashima Space Center in southern Japan due to an unfavorable weather forecast at the launch site for the next two days, which may delay the launch date further.
