While I knew that Michael Griffin was nominated by George Bush and appointed to be the new NASA administrator. What i didn’t know (until I picked up a copy of CQ Amateur Radio magazine in Borders Bookshop, Charing Cross Road last week), was that Mr. Griffin is also a Radio Ham. Along with holding the callsign NR3A, he is into scuba diving and is an accomplished pilot. I hope he gets an easier ride than Mr O’Keefe had.
