We all know Mr Abbey – former head of Flight Crew Ops and former Center Director at JSC.

This is interesting in part since George is a wiley guy that has returned from being banished from JSC before. Perhaps he will be an advisor for Nick Lampson? Perhaps his ideas may yet get another consideration?

George is a Machivellian character (I always wanted to say that) and it is surprising where he shows up.
