A friend of mine emailed a recent West Point grads online newsletter but it was formatted such that I couldn't post it as the headline. Not even mentioned in the West Point article is that a product of the rape became a NASA astronaut. (https://www.westpointaog.org/GradNews). It's about the fourth or fifth story down the list now and shows the amazing cover of a new book about the story. I couldn't post this because the headline wouldn't make sense so I posted an older article about the story. The book is titled The Waiting.

On July 2, 2006, she received a phone call from a man in Alabama. He started asking the elderly woman about her background. Worried about identity theft, Mrs Disbrow refused to answer any questions. Then, the man asked if she’d like to speak with her daughter Betty Jane - whose name was now Ruth Lee.

Mrs Lee had been raised by a Norwegian pastor and his wife and had gone on to marry and have six children.

One of her son’s is the astronaut Mark Lee, a veteran of four space flights who has circled the world 517 times.
