danielladelarue: Wait wait wait - are you the author of the "Forget stardust -you are iron" poem? If so, I used that to close our end of the year banquet and could not properly credit the author. I spoke the words in front of a roomful of people which included a female NASA scientist and our university president and our students are still talking about it. I think it really clenched the night (and year) for everyone.
Yes I am, and oh my gosh, this just made my day. Thank you, thank you so much for telling me all about this. I am honored and humbled to have my writing used in such amazing ways. Thank you, thank you thank you so, so much!
