He planned to present it during commencement exercises next June at his old school, now called Carteret High, where he was to be the featured speaker. Said Senator Jake Garn, who trained with Smith for a 1985 shuttle mission: "He was my mother hen. They assigned him to me." One thing the two never discussed, says Garn, was the possibility of a disaster: "We always assumed that if it happened, it would happen to somebody else...
