Harold Smith wrote a sympathy message

“Wayne, it has been several years since you were one of my students at Taylor Elementary School. I called your dad 2-3 times to express my enjoyment of your success in the space program. I enjoyed you reporting what had happened on the shuttle. My limited knowledge of the space program prevented me from understanding what you were saying. I was proud of you and your success.”
