Re: James Lovell's Autograph - ...[& others @ farthestreaches.com]

*Can purchase autographed photos, magazines, cards, etc., of U.S. and Russian astronauts/cosmonauts. Other good stuff in here too. A bit on the pricey side, but I might part with a few $$ to get one of Lovell's sigs.
[I think astronautalicious James Lovell should send me a free autograph for being a fan of his!] :laugh:

Re: James Lovell's Autograph - ...[& others @ farthestreaches.com]
*James Lovell was in El Paso yesterday! 
Apparently speaking to the local Kiwanis group. I'd just walked out of the living room when I heard my husband say, "Jim Lovell." Sure enough, a small-segment interview with him on KVIA.
If Mundaka reads this, did you catch the news as well?
I'll bet he's a guest in the home of Frank Borman last evening -- here, in Las Cruces. 
They (and Bill Anders) were Apollo 8.

Unfortunately, goings-on in this region aren't announced properly; I didn't know Lovell was coming to this area.

::EDIT:: "West Side resident Kerry Jackson, 47, said he didn't know the danger the Apollo 13 crew faced when he was a boy."
*Huh? And this Kerry Jackson is 9 years older than me? I remember the incident (almost 5 years old), asking my father about it, watching news segments, and I remember my sister and I including the astronauts in our bedtime prayers during the crisis.

Looks like your prayers did the trick, Cindy! :up:
But, you know, I've looked really hard at the pictures of Jim Lovell you posted, and I just don't find him attractive at all ... ! (Nice fella though I'm sure he is.)

*Shaun, I'm sure your wife would be relieved to know you don't find Lovell attractive (and come to think of it, I sort of am as well). :laugh:
I've seen lots of pics of Lovell. He reminds me -- in his younger years -- of Kevin Costner (who, ironically, -isn't- a Hollywood favorite of mine). Anyway...
There's just something about that man that is MMMm-mmmMM!! ::teehee::

Fixed another artifact and shifting topic
Both of these major contributors have not been back for a very long time and are quite missed...
