Statement from Avi Benlolo on the passing of Rona Ramon:

The passing of Rona Ramon is another tragedy that has befallen the Ramon family. Years ago, I had the pleasure of hosting Ilan Ramon for dinner and an event. He was kind, considerate and had an extraordinary sense of humility, despite having just been accepted to NASA to become Israel’s first astronaut. We send our condolences to the Ramon family and cherish their heroism for the state of Israel.
