Biographical / historical:

Lula R. Agee was born on 2 December 1913 in Accomack County, Virginia. During the 1970s, she worked at the Langley Research Center in Virginia. As NASA prepared for the Viking missions in 1975, she coordinated the extensive travel arrangements for many people through her duties in the Passenger Transportation Office. Known as "Lu" to many of her coworkers, she received an exceptional service medal in Langley's 1978 annual honor and awards ceremony for her management of the activities center at that site. She later lived in Newport News, Virginia, and retired to St. Petersburg in 1994. She passed away on 19 July 2001.
