Met at Camp then married!

I stumbled across this website the other day.

While there's not much that's Space Camp related, there is the following excellent story, as well as a photo or two:

For those first timers to the Dobson Web site, our family of two humans and two cats was established on May 27, 1995 (nearly seven years!). But, the story doesn't start there. We met in April, 1988 (14 years ago?!?), at Space Academy Level I, in Huntsville, Alabama. We were in the same group (Morton Thiokol) and sat next to each other during our two shuttle missions (Mission Specialists 2 and 3: Payload Scientist and Weather and Tracking Officer). We were 16, in 10th grade, and decided we liked one another enough to start exchanging letters and phone calls. We dated long-distance (Tyler in Georgia, Heather in West Virginia) through high school and attended college (North Georgia College) together. The rest, as they say, is history.

Pretty cool stuff! I wonder how often something like this has occurred...

Well ive met my soulmate. We didnt meet at space camp but ironicly we both went to space camp just at diffrent times. I've tried to get her to come post here but she says she doesnt remember enough about her trip to beable to.

There's nothing wrong with that...some people just didn't get out of Space Camp exactly what we did...and while most enjoy their time there, it doesn't stick with everyone.

It happens.

*shudders*

Was that shudder because you cant imagine anyone not remembering Space Camp or for some other reason?

How could anyone forget Space Camp?! I can't imagine it!!

I dont see how its possible either but i guess it is.

well vincent i dont know how you found that site, but its neat to hear such a story. Anyway, the rest of the site is cool as you find out that the woman is crazy!! she hates her ex-boyfriend so much she put up a website about how bad he is!! well anyway...

Jason, tell your soulmate to undergoe hypnosis to bring back the space camp memories and then post them here!!

Well i suggested the hypnosis and she wouldnt go for it.

as much as i want to meet my soulmate i dont want to do it in camp cause itg would most likely mean that shes a space geek and math fanatics(me) and space geeks dont match never will they there would be too much argument no matter how much i will love her.

good call FatMan

Boomerang · Post by **Boomerang** » Sun Oct 13, 2002 8:08 pm

I wouldnt say that. My girlfriend and i are both space geeks. We do argue but that just because i'm always right but she always thinks she's right. But seriously we really do love eachother.

Just so you guys know, A LOT of people who met at Space Camp have gotten married. It's mainly people who worked there, I haven't heard of many camper-camper ones, but there are so many marriages between co-workers that there is an official Space Camp garter belt that is passed around and it was fashioned out of an old flight suit. There were 3 weddings while I was at camp and even more engagements announced. Who knew space was so romantic?

Wow i never realised how romantic space camp was either. What dates were you at space camp in 91? and at space academy level 3 in 93? just curious since i went to theose programs the smae years.

More youngsters

I still find it strange that Kemara and i were at Space Academy, Level I together and didn't know it... but it would be strange if this person was at Camp the same time too.

Met at Camp then married!
