Did anybody happen to catch the NBC Nightly news last night? Tom Brokaw interviewed Warren Buffet. They started out the interview by walking down a hall filled with sports memorabilia. Later in the interview they walked over to Buffets assistant's desk, there behind her, hanging on the wall, was what appeared to be a framed presentation of a flown Apollo 15 flag... a photo of Dave Scott near the rover is at the top, the flag is in the middle, and then a brass plaque is at the bottom. I do have the episode recorded, but have no idea how to share the image with everyone... but I thought you guys might like to know who else appreciates a flown flag.

Here is the scene Noah describes, captured from the video of the segment posted to the NBC Nightly News website:

Noah,

Great catch. I wonder if bought it himself or someone gave it to him.

Is that an old NovaSpace presentation?

I only watch CBS News at night. Katie Couric is a cougar.
