NAL Members - The precursor agency of the present day NASA was the NACA
(National Advisory Committee on Aeronautics) and was founded in early
March, 1915. The 100th anniversary of NACA is coming up shortly and there
will be a big celebration in Washington at the Smithsonian on March 3. We
have previously sent you information about the Washington event.
I have also contacted Michael Kincaid, the JSC Director of Community
Relations and asked about the JSC plan (if any) to celebrate the NACA
century anniversary and offered the assistance of our NAL chapter in any
activity JSC is planning. JSC is apparently interested and is moving
forward to create a plan but I do not have any details for you at this time.
However, I would like your help in identifying NACA veterans who are still
with us, who reside in our area and who should be recognized for their NACA
service and invited to the event that JSC organizes. Our NAL chapter has
identified several who fit this category, but I don't want to miss anyone.
Would you please email me with your recollection of NACA vets we should
include?
I appreciate your help!
