NASA ASTRONAUT FERNANDO "FRANK" CALDEIRO

I remember when I got to Farmingdale Fernando showed me around college. We became friends. We lost contact until my husband and my kids moved to Titusville. M6 father in law was the head of Nasa for public relations. I will always cherish the memories. RIP.

I met Fernando a few years ago at the forums of "Contacto". He was a great friend since the beginning. You must be proud of him and happy that he achived his objetives in life.

Donna,
I know we lost touch over the years, but I just heard the news about Frank. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Frank was my co-worker and buddy at KSC. We shared a love of flying and he freely gave advice and encouragement while I was getting my sailplane refinished at Merritt Island. I never got to tell him how much I appreciated his efforts to keep the old Spaceland Airpark open, especially since I met my future bride there 39 years ago!

I think what I remember most about Frank is his yellow airplane. I grew up two doors down from the Caldeiro's and he used to fly over our house every week it seemed. He would fly around and around in circles until somebody came out and waved at him. Then he'd rock the wings side-to-side as he flew away to wave back. He's probably still flying over our heads now.

Good Speed Fernando "Frank" Caldeiro. I hope you finally reach to the Stars. I never forget when you visited our city Maracaibo, Venezuela in February of 1998 as NASA astronaut and bring wisdom and inspiration to the youth people. Donna: I would like to express my condolence for this lost, and I hope that the Lord bring both you and yours children strength into this dark hour.
