General Schriever was my guiding light and inspiration during most of my career. I first met him in 1962 when we moved to Washington to work on the Apollo program in NASA. General Schriever took me from NASA to help run the Air Force Manned Orbial Laboratory Program. He remained my mentor and advisor during my entire professional life since then. My wife Lana and I will truly miss him. We express our heartfelt condolences to Joni. He was a great man, and the Nation will always be indebted to his vision and leadership.
