    We listened to there fly by and landing and also recorded the comm. I have the .wav file if anybody wants a copy. They sure did a good job on the whole race. It was great to have this blog to help keep track of their progress. One of the best parts was Bev talking about breaking the rules that she taught all of her students not to do that.:):) Nice to have met Teresa and Bill at KMDH. Had a nice visit.
