OT-new astronaut from Spokane

[jazzdelmar]

Now this is a five star person from Spokane:

“It’s just so surreal that this moment has arrived,” said Anne C. McClain, 34, the helicopter pilot, who is from Spokane, Wash., and graduated from the United States Military Academy at West Point. “I truly don’t remember ever wanting to be something else.” The New York Times

Even more awesome--

She graduated from Gonzaga Prep and attendedd Gonzaga University for one year year before transferring to West Point!

Very accomplished yet humble person. She came to my place and watched a Zags this past season. No foolin'. Honest to goodness astronaut. Pretty awesome!

[jazzdelmar]

Future honoree at Zags game, one would expect.

Can she rebound?

Presumably, as she can soar. 🌠

Wondering if she knows Major Tom.

That's my sister! A huge GU fan and a great ambassador for Spokane. As she was selecting photos for the press releases, her biggest focus was finding images that captured Spokane, because she wanted the world to see the place that so favorably shaped her.

Very Cool

The word went out a few days ago among the G-Prep community that one of their alums is now among the astronaut corps. I hear she also went to Cataldo Catholic School.
