I may have others for Conrad, Bean, Garriott, and possibly even a few for Skylab backup crew members.</TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#333333"><TD valign=top>Ross</TD><TD>I have the following covers (all from 1972): Lind (Aug 1), Lenoir (Aug 16 - Suit 624), Carr (Aug 10 - Suit 626), Pogue (Aug 15 - Suit 627), Gibson (Aug 28 - Suit 628), Kerwin (Sep 22 - Suit 631) and Weitz (Sep 28 - Suit 630).</TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#494949"><TD valign=top>Matt T</TD><TD>Thanks for all the replies, looking forward to hearing your info John. I believe that some (maybe all?) of the covers came from an ILC employee Peter Halewski; a signed Brand fit-check cover recently on eBay included a COA from him.</TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#333333"><TD valign=top>petehalewski</TD><TD>I can provide information about these covers.</TD></TR></TABLE></td></tr></table>
