And I got pics of my hubs with Katherine and a few of her family members! She celebrated her 99th birthday a few weeks ago and is just as beautiful in person as in Annie Leibovitz's portrait of her.
My hubs has worked for NASA Langley for 38 years and had seen Katherine on "the field" as the huge facility is called. We have a mutual friend, astronaut Leland Melvin.
Here's Mrs. Johnson and Leland...
Katherine got a standing ovation today, as she should have. And Terry McAuliffe, our Gov., gave a fan.frickin.tastic speech! He also got a rousing applause from the big room.
Margot Shetterly, the author of Hidden Figures and a Hampton native, also gave a wonderful speech.
It was such an enjoyable day! I was so happy to be there. And there was cake!
