Under the title of “The role of women in the life of Farouk El-Baz”, our distinguished guest shared with us his memories with his mother, who says that she is smarter person he met in his life, the beautiful Mrs. Zahia Abu Al-Atta Hammouda, whom he devoted to her a chapter in his book he is writing entitled: “The day I saw Apollo’s guts”, from her and his father, Dr. El-Baz said he learned  how to behave humbly and modestly with others.

His wife, a companion of sixty years of love and struggle, Patricia also has a share in his book. All of us were interested in hearing the story of the great love. We can’t but admire the patient wife who sat at the typewriter typing for her husband 121 job applications that would enable them to take care of their young family in the 1960s, her letter to NASA found for Dr. El- Baz his way to the surface of the moon.
