The Moderated Forum at the Air & Space Museum on Friday night. Front row: Moderator Mark Larson (leaning in), Alan Bean, Rusty Schweickart, Bill Anders, Walt Cunningham, Jim McDivitt Back row: Glynn Lunney, Charlie Duke, Al Worden, Fred Haise.
It was Francis' job to escort NASA Administrator Charlie Bolden for two days. Here he is with Charlie Bolden, his wife and daughter-in-law about to take them about the USS Midway aircraft carrier.
Each of the astronauts and flight controllers received the American Patriot award on stage aboard the USS Midway aircraft carrier, with medals being placed around their necks. Francis was responsible for escorting the astronauts on stage to receive their medals. After they were all lined up, I saw Rusty Schweickart lean back and invite Francis to come up and join the line (being a Brit, he could not!). :) Left to right: Glynn Lunney, Rusty Schweickart, Fred Haise, Francis French, Alan Bean, Bill Anders, Walt Cunningham, Charlie Duke, Jim McDivitt, Al Worden
At the end of the evening, Francis and Charlie Bolden, the NASA Administrator, posed for one final picture.
