Show 282 space program, that he was taking his first business trip for them today. "The space program?" Sister Joan's face filled with satisfaction, her sharp eyes danced, Sharon had never seen them move so quickly. "What does he do?" "Satellites. Weather satillites, mostly. But right now he's on a different kind of project: a satillite to take pictures of the moon." Yes, Sister Joan was pleased. "It's to prepare for a manned trip to the moon. To find out the best place to land." "My, but that's exciting." Sharon was suddenly as proud of Robbie as she was. "It's called the Ranger Project. He'll be on it for awhile, I guess." "I always knew that Robbie was capable of something like that. Capable of outstanding achievement." She smiled, breaking the sharpness of her face. "I think he was the hardest working student I've ever had. And certainly one of the most creative." And remembering, she paused. Sharon had been an average student, mediocre even-was she remembering that? Her eyes suddenly turned quick again, taking Sharon in. "And you? Aren't you at Sacred Heart?" "Yes. I'm a senior this year," Sharon said-suddenly guilty, a truant senior at the moment. "I had to bring Robbie out for his flight this morning," she added. "I see." |
