re: Yes!
Hi Del,
I was giving a speech about the HST at an astronomy club (open to the public); a friend called and my cell phone ranged (much to my embarassment) ; I noticed who called, called him back (after the conference) and he gave the good news about Ariane, which I yelled (well almost) to the crowd and everybody applauded!
(BTW, earlier today saturday, I saw about 6 astronauts;more about it later).
