NAHAD 2017 Day 2

Astronaut Mark Kelly received a standing ovation after delivering the keynote address to NAHAD's annual convention, held this week in San Antonio.

Capt. Mark Kelly took time after his talk to have his photo taken with numerous attendees. Here Kelly poses with John Pope of Anco International Inc., who got the astoronaut to autograph a copy of Kelly's bestselling children's book, "Mousetronaut."

A highlight of the luncheon was the awarding posthumously of the George W. Carver Outstanding Commitment to Industry Excellence Award to Robert Mitchell, former CEO of Omni Services Inc. His family, including a daughter who works at Omni, was on hand to accept the honor on his behalf.
