| Fresno State Campus Community... Fresno, Feb. 1, 2003 - This morning the Shuttle Columbia has apparently broken up on re-entry into the Earth's atmosphere. We ask for all of your prayers for Bulldog alumnus Rick Husband, mission commander, and his family. -- editor Additional background at www.FresnoStateNews.com
Fresno State graphic artist Priscilla Helling and her student assistant Leticia Ruiz display the red Fresno State sweatshirt that Col. Rick Husband will wear in space when he commands the NASA shuttle Columbia Jan. 16. University Relations arranged for the souvenirs, which were donated by the Kennel Bookstore, and is working with NASA on a visit by Husband to his alma mater in the spring for a special presentation to the university.
Fresno, Jan. 9 - When the NASA
shuttle Columbia launches into space next Thursday (Jan. 16), its Bulldog
alumni commander will take a souvenir item from Fresno State into space
with him. Air Force Col. Rick Husband, a 1990 graduate of Fresno State,
was sent a red sweatshirt with Fresno State in large letters across the
chest. He plans to wear the shirt while in space and have a photo taken
that will be framed and presented to President John D. Welty during a
visit to the campus later this spring, said Tom Uribes who has been
planning the project for University Relations with Husband and NASA.
Kennel Bookstore manager Ron Durham donated the sweatshirt. Husband, who
earned his master's degree in mechanical engineering in 1990 through the
university's distance learning program at Edwards Air Force Base, was
honored in November as a
Top
Dog Outstanding Alumnus along with 10 other former Bulldogs. See a
video he sent for the November event at
