Smilies Legend
[i]Yesterday was a thrilling day in this colorful Nevada city. Astronauts Gene Cernan, Gerry Carr, Jack Swigert, Ron Evans, Joe Engle, Bruce McCandless, and Bill Pogue were cocktail-partied by the Dick Damers of the Hughes organizaton. Actually, they had started the previous night, at the American Cancer Benefit, at which astronaut Tom Stafford and Hollywood's John Wayne were guests of honor. This was particularly fitting because both Stafford and Wayne had been cured of cancer. A special feature of the evening was auctioning off by Cary Grant and Wayne of five mementos of space flights contributed by the astronauts. Mrs. Barbara Greenspan, wife of the Vegas Sun publisher, successfully bid $25,000 for the American flag that went to the moon on Apollo 12.[/i]
