Wally Schirra also had a house in Kauai, so he must have appreciated the beauty of our islands. Something that we have in common, for I live on one of those island and am constantly reminded of its beauty. Also, he was the fifth American and ninth human to take a rocket into space; this feat in my eyes symbolizes Wally Schirras bravery and the trait of a risk taker. I am also a risk taker, even though my feats only consist of jumping off 2
