■v Christa Mcauliffe had planned to teach a lesson from space. She did. It was not the lesson we all expected in classrooms across the country, it was a lesson that arose from a fiery explosion miles above the earth as we watched in our living rooms. It was a lesson about courage and dedication that is found in the teaching profession and a lesson about how a community ^ loved and respected one of 1 its outstanding teachers. a The Challenger ' catastrophe drew our na- ■ tional attention to the loss I of seven very good people. t

s but Christa Mcauliffe was very special because she s was so ordinary, i She was one of us - an i educator who came to - school every day prepared i to do battle against ignorance and anxious to see her students succeed. > IN A VARIETY of ways ! she was the best of us. By > definition, she had surviv- ' ed the long winnowing prof cess of selection. From among tens of thousands of original applicants for the Teacber-in-Space project she won the right to participate in the rigorous

training by surviving a series of interviews and tests and character references. She won her NASA uniform with determination and wit, with intelligence and perspective. These were the traits which made her such a successful teacher and would have stood her in good stead in Space. AS THE COUNTRY got to know her through her public nomination and the various pit stops in the training program. I am certain that all of us in education were pleased by the performance of our representative. She had all the charm and grit that you see so I often in the many gifted teachers who work in our schools. We all knew she had the stamina because our profession breeds that with a seven or eight period day and coming into close contact with 200 teenagers five times a week for seven hours a day, HER ENTHUSIASM was bred in the excitement of working with youngsters in a learning environment. ^ and her joy was developey^X/"^ from watching a studerA*^' master a new skill, comprehend a new concept or mouth an original thought In that tragedy that stopped the world Jan. 28 we mourned the loss of seven fine human beings who knew all along the dangers they faced while sitting atop that enormous rocket. The personal loss that those families feel can never be ea sed or forgotten. For the rest of us there is something encouraging in the fact that those seven were part of us. As human beings we all too often deserve to cringe at the behavior of our kind, but these seven were among our best and Christa Mcauliffe was a fine woman and an outstanding teacher. /(I
