Wally Schirra

Before last month, I wouldn't have given too much thought about the passing of Wally Schirra. In the meantime, I've read and watched well on the space program (yes, military spending in another guise), and I treat the news differently: I've really enjoyed my stay this last month in the space program, and its like losing an acquaintce now. Whats that line in Ulysses sometime around paddy Dingams funeral? The dead say: As you are now, we once were. Walking about the streets of London and Paris and S.F. always make me wonder as to who has trod here before. On and on.
