Hi Tom and List, Oh, that is a shame. Those vintage ones are the best. Here is an Apollo 8 Lovell from my collection (sorry for the bad photo): http://www.branchmeteorites.com/misc/lovell.jpg -Walter - - Original Message - From: Thomas Randall - KB2SMS [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Meteorite list - Post [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, December 17, 2004 8:11 PM Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] harrison jackschmidt Hi Walter and list, I met and got Lovell's autograph when I was 14, he was grand marshall at an opening of city hall in Poughkeepsie,N.Y. Man was it great! He even broguht a moon rock encases in a half dome thing. Here's the sad part, I ended up putting the autograph in an Apollo pamphlet I got from KSC and gave the extra copies away to someone and the autograph was in one of the copies. I used to send to KSC all the time for Apollo stuff and they'd send back big envelopes full of 8x10's, Apollo literature,etc. I had TONS of the stuff. I didn't wash my hand for weeks!

Walter, That picture of the big blue Earth from the Apollo 8's Moon orbit is the image I recall as a kid when I think of the Apollo missions...as it was also the first day I ever saw a colored TV for any length of time. My Dad had the new TV delivered that day so we could have it for Christmas, and of course to see the view from the Moon to happen on network TV that evening with another Walter...as in Chronkite. Thanx for sharing the photos. John -- Original message from Walter Branch [EMAIL PROTECTED]: -- Hi Tom and List, Oh, that is a shame. Those vintage ones are the best.
