Another Glove

Have written near the beginning of this blog about some "glove stories," including Michael Jackson's glove that he wore in the early 1980s. And I've just discovered another story which is quite fascinating. This glove actually went on a space mission with an astronaut.--He took it with him as a memento and for good luck, or inspiration, as far as I understand. It happened in the summer of 2007; and this was the first time I heard about it--I read it on the Internet. The glove belonged to the young man who went around the world in his wheel chair. His name was Rick Hansen, a Canadian. [The tour was from about 1985-1987.] It seems Mr. Hansen also visited some countries for the 25th anniversary of his tour last year. *** Have added a Link in the Waterlily II blog and will add one here. People can take time to read more, if they wish to. [Have only had time for quick research, so far, myself. But I had followed the news, documentaries, and special programs about Hansen's "Man in Motion" Tour when it happened and some stories since. I believe his entire story is inspiring to all people, whether handicapped or not.] *** If some people recall, I wrote that the police project was connected to a "space" theme; and Michael Jackson had also promoted space and astronauts in a concert [it was on TV--from Bucharest].--That was at least one concert which I saw [and I've purchased a DVD copy].
