I recently had the opportunity to sit down and talk with former NASA astronaut, Captain Wendy Lawrence (Ret), USN, at the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex. What an amazing conversation it was!

Being handpicked to be one of three black students to integrate West Virginia’s graduate schools is something that many people would consider one of their life’s most notable moments, but it’s just one of several breakthroughs that have marked Katherine Johnson’s long and remarkable life. Born in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, in 1918, her intense curiosity and brilliance with numbers vaulted her ahead several grades in school. By 13, she was attending the high school on the campus of historically black West Virginia State College. At 18, she enrolled in the college itself, where she made quick work of the school’s math curriculum and found a mentor in math professor W. W. Schieffelin Claytor, the third African American to earn a PhD in mathematics. She graduated with highest honors in 1937 and took a job teaching at a black public school in Virginia. […]

Women’s History Month is designed to commemorate and encourage the study, observance, and celebration of the vital role of women in American history. This includes both, women of yesteryear and women of the present. Dana Blickley falls into the latter category. She is the current Brevard County Property Appraiser but is much more than that. Blickley is a positive force in Brevard County. I recently had the opportunity to talk with Blickley and was very impressed with what she had to say. […]
