I lived in Huntsville, AL for twenty-five of the teaching years and was familiar with Homer.

I think I would have fit in your loop! Totally fascinating! While visting relatives in Charleston 3 years ago, my brother-in-law & I drove to Coalwood! Had a blast! Found the rocket launch area! Very inspiring! Would love to hear from any of you. I am a big fan to say the least! If you are in the area--look me up! God bless you.........Robert

My quest goes beyond that. Carl sagan and other icons of space exploration have always been inspiration to me. I look into the sky and dream. I know that there is more than just getting a rocket into the air, but i just cant put my finger on it yet.

The movie had four principle themes which made the impact on us: father/son relationship; what friendship is really all about; believing in yourself; and an inspirational teacher. All components of my life - you should all be so proud for your impact on so many. God bless you all

Comments:Born and raised in Huntsville to a NASA engineer, rocketry has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Two years ago, one of my professors at Mississippi State University, where I currently attend, recommended that I read "Rocket Boys". Once I started reading it, I couldn't put it down. The way Homer wrote it and told the stories of not just six boys, but an entire community, blew me away. I hope someday soon to travel to Coalwood to see the town where some of my heroes once roamed. Thank you all for such an amazing story and for sharing it with the world! Sincerely, William T Bryan

Comments:I just watched "October Sky" again. I had seen it before, but viewed it this time in order to complete an assignment for a graduate class I'm taking. I'm the coordinator of Gifted services in Fauquier County, Virginia. My task was to do an analysis of a character in a book or movie whom I believed to be gifted. Homer Hickam was the first such person to come to mind. It was a pleasure to view the movie again as I watched for gifted characteristics in Homer. They were easy to locate! Homer Hickam and the other Rocket Boys are inspiring to all, and the movie demonstrates what can be accomplished by bright students with vision, drive, perseverance and the support of those who recognize their potential and are willing to provide support.
