Tyra Cochren, Space Camp nurse, retiring

Post by Benji »

One year I went to Camp with an injured finger that had to have the dressings replaced every day. A couple different nurses helped me throughout the week, but Nurse Cochren (whose name I actually didn't know until I read this story) was there most of the times and was always a joy to see.

Good for her, but I hope if she reads this she won't take it personally when I say that I'm glad I never had need of her the times I've been to SC!
Can you imagine the stuff she must have seen among the campers in all those years? That's a 'tell all' book I'd never wanna read! :P

I have a photo with her during a pre-SCUBA medical. My temperature was really low (normal for me) and we were joking that Canadians have anti-freeze running through their veins. Haha, good times! Best wishes, Tyra!
