to make a desicion and then it stuck.
That was very,
very helpful from the very beginning there .
The first
day we went to that stowage review up there , we had
the basic concept solved and we had the ECP's in to
get the stowage the way we wanted it. It was very
helpful.
I do not think there was one thing that we
really wanted in the spacecraft that GPO did not provide.
Everybody was very cooperative , I thought .
But that was another item that I strongly recommend the
crews to do. , ..is attend Management Meetings...particularly
while the spacecraft is in St. Louis.
You will find
a lot of decisions are made and you can get in there and
get your voice in.
The people listen to you as long
as you are not unreasonable, and you will end up making
an awful lot of money in a very short time if you will
get to the decision making.
