Andrew Crawford: NASA Rocket Scientist

Crawford says he owes a debt of gratitude to Flathead Valley Community College and the support of his parents, Bill and Sue Crawford of Kalispell. His three years of hard work just helped him win a paid internship this summer at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena. . . “Over 5,000 kids apply for these and I got one,” he said. “I’m so excited. It’s the closest thing to a little kid’s dream coming true — to actually work for NASA.”

This summer, Crawdaddy can answer without lying: “Why yes, in fact, I am a rocket scientist.”

How are you, Andrew?
Do you remember, Lawrence from Japan, Okinawa.
About 14 years ago, I was your roommate when I was Central Oregon Community College. When I watched youtube, accidentally I saw your snowboard.

I am currently working as an IT technician in Okinawa, Japan..
Your pictures and youtube reminded me when I was in Oregon.

When I left Bend, I moved to Kentucky.
Then I had a bachelor degree in computer science from Murray State University.
Please email to me!!

Take care of your self!!
