gusgrissom:Rest in peace, Elizabeth “Betty” Lavonne Moore Grissom (August 8, 1927 – October 7, 2018)“I met Betty Moore when she entered Mitchell High School as a freshman, and that was it, period, exclamation point! It was a quiet romance, as far as anyone could see, but a special closeness started then and has developed into something several light years beyond the power of mere words to describe.” -Gus Grissom“[In 1997], the Astronaut Scholarship Foundation was not going to include Roger Chaffee [in the Astronaut Hall of Fame] since he had not flown. They said that Chaffee was honored by the Astronauts Memorial Foundation, with his name on the Space Mirror Monument. Well Betty was not having it. They went toe-to-toe, and guess what? Roger Chaffee was inducted with the Apollo astronauts into the AHoF… Betty was fiercely loyal to the love of her love and had an unmatched force of will. You wanted her on your side.” -Tim Gagnon“When I said goodbye [immediately after Liberty Bell 7], I added, ‘I love you.’ There was nothing more important to say than that. I’m not used to yelling it, but I did.” -Betty Grissom -- source link
