The cost of "Dine With An Astronaut" was absolutely justified when we met with Bill Pogue. the real deal. He has been on numerous missions and spent months in space. The personal stories were fascinating. He had a slide presentation of his personal photos and went into great detail about aspects of space journeys that aren't usually covered by the press. It was an intimate look at what goes on behind the scenes. He was so personable and took questions from the folks who had come to meet him. Doug asked him a question about what the astronauts had to change in their personal habits before going on a mission and Bill said "nothing!" I was touched when one of the diners raised his hand and then thanked Bill for everything he had given to this country.
