From Ritalinda and Family,
Dear Dad: 
How could we not have done this?  What an egregious oversight it would have been for this re-launch of the Saturn to not have a bit of its geography dedicated to one of its most ardent developers—you who remain the keeper of the dream of what it meant, what it means and what it might still mean?  So your family fiber artists and their partners attempted to make tangible, some part of the gift you have given us from that wondrous part of your life in aerospace.   

Few moments delight us more than when you brighten that elegant beacon of your mind and recount your part in conceptualizing America’s science of flight and space.  From the light of that beacon each of your children and their families have learned the power and possibility of dreams and goals.  You are our Visionary.    

But you taught us more than how to dream.  Vision without commitment or action, withers.  We have watched you implement.  Family, Thiokol, LBI, genealogy –whatever you have envisioned has been manifested . You are our Strategist. 

What impresses us even more is that your visions and strategies excite, empower and encourage us and all of those who have had the honor of working with you.  Your example and inclusiveness escorts others to the best of who they are and their ability to perform increases.  Who among us does not come to you first and often for advice, perspective and insight? You are our Leader. 

Beyond that, your tenacity and exacting standards assured that your strategies were not only remarkably successful, but honorable and irreproachable.  Anyone who mentions you, reflects upon you and your achievements invariably notes your ethical core.  We measure ourselves, our families, friends and colleagues; our aspirations and accomplishments on the scale of your values.  You are our standard of Integrity.  

That we love and respect you immensely is hopefully apparent to you.  That you have and continue to inspire us is what we hope to reinforce to you with this gesture.  That we honor you and want to share your accomplishments is what we intend to communicate with this tapestry. 

Please accept this with all of our love and appreciation.
