RIP Lt. Col. "Mini" Mott.
Michael Irvine Mott, vice president and general manager of NASA systems for the Boeing Co. in Houston and a former Marine Corps aviator, has died of cancer. He was 56.

Because of his slight stature, Mott earned the call sign "Mini" while flying for the Marine Corps, a nickname that stuck even as he retired in 1991 as a lieutenant colonel after 20 years.

However, his associates thought of Mott as an enthusiastic executive and military officer who was eager to rally colleagues to find solutions to difficult problems.
