Galloway, Noted Space Law Expert, Dies At 102

Have you ever wondered just how organizations begin and who are instrumental in making it happen?
We often forget that one person can have a big impact.
When you have a dream or see a need, and have the courage of your convictions, things change.
Then again, you might just be asked to serve, and you do it well.

Take a look at the Aviation Week article mentioned below.
Maybe you can make a difference.
Don't have the time, well see what you can do with 102 years. :-)
