THIRD GRADERS TO PRESENT COLUMBIA MEMORIAL QUILT TO NASA AMES

NOTE TO EDITORS AND NEWS DIRECTORS: News media representatives are
invited to attend a presentation of a Space Shuttle Columbia memorial
quilt to NASA Ames Research Center, Moffett Filed, Calif., by a class
of third grade students from Bollinger Canyon Elementary School, San
Ramon, Calif.

The three-foot by five-foot quilt is composed of 21 individual panels
created by the students following the Feb. 1, 2003, Space Shuttle
Columbia accident. Students from Robert Dolin's class will present
the quilt to NASA Ames officials at 9:30 a.m. PDT on Monday, June 30,
2003, at the NASA Ames Research Center's Visitor Center. The quilt
will be displayed for two weeks at the visitor center and then sent
to the Astronaut Office at NASA Johnson Space Center for presentation
to the families of the Columbia astronauts.

To reach the visitor center, take the Moffett Field exit from U.S.
101 and drive east to the Moffett Field main gate. At the four-way
stop sign, turn left and drive about 1/4 mile on R.T. Jones Road to
the visitor center, located on the right.
