Ruth Garcia Osborne-Hess

Dan and my paths crossed over the past ten years as we worked for the same aerospace contractor company, different locations, me at MSFC and Dan at KSC, but same NASA project where we would often find ourselves frequently in the same meetings.  Always professional and a highly competent subject matter expert in space flight hardware quality engineering.  His demeanor was warm and personable, open and upbeat; a true delight to know personally and professionally.  Everyone knew and liked Dan!  Having known each other in highschool, I felt like a 'teacher's pet' in the high profile SLS quality engineering meetings, where when Dan spoke everyone listened. We caught up with each other, and I met his sister, at the class reunion on Monte Sano (not sure which reunion that was).  I cannot help but think of her and how she must miss her brother so much as it was obvious that they were very close and had great respect and admiration for each other.   We miss those we love.  I'm sure Dan is missed greatly by many.  Life is short.. I'm glad I got my hugs in.  

Beauty AND Brains. Kind AND Quick-witted.  ALWAYS poised and laughed readily, though didn't call attention to herself. A natural beauty.   These are what comes to mind when I think of Terry Humphreys.  I was disappointed that no one had been able to contact her when we were planning the past three reunions.  We didn't know each other well, but we knew enough that we always greeted each other and had seemingly a mutual respect and appreciation for each other.  I always looked forward to seeing her as we both grew up out of those high school years.  It's so great to read about her now though!   Thank you, to whomever tracked her down after all these years.
