The Beckmeister was really hot about this....Charles Woods shook hands with the President, after his sons body and coffin came home, and he said, it seemed like shaking hands with a dead fish...The president looked beyond him into the crowd. Does anyone remember Ronald Reagan meeting with the Challenger Astronaut Victims families...he was hugging them and consoling them like the great humanitarian and communicator he was. We cried as we watched him consoling the families....just leaves a lasting image in the mind of the difference in Presidents doesn't it! Just go with throttle up...what a tragedy.
