Hello everyone. Sad word has reached us today that Howard Benedict, the long-time Associated Press space reporter in Cape Canaveral, died yesterday at his home in Cocoa. Some of you may not realize it, but you almost certainly read Howard's stories during the Apollo, Skylab and Apollo-Soyuz programs and in the early shuttle years. Here's a brief story from Florida Today: http://www.floridatoday.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20050426/BREAKINGNEWS/50426007 I competed against Howard during my early years here as UPI bureau chief. He was a gentleman, he played fair and he absolutely knew his stuff. RIP, Howard. And thanks for the memories.
