One of my favorite Apollo 11 related covers, signed by many of the key members of the launch team.

J.L., One of the best multi-signed Apollo 11 launch covers signed by 16 key launch team officials, in my opinion, as there are many names on it not seldom seen all togther.

One of mine, that I'll try to locate later on, has Debus, Petrone, Kapryan, Wendt, Donnelly, Middleton, King, Gruene, Rigell, along with Poppel and a few others. Nice job, J.L., on this one!

Lotta famous names there, JL. How did it come to be? - many multi-sendings or a lot of kind help? Ken: send me a scan of yours and I'll post it for you.

Bob - Roughly half of the signatures were obtained in person during visits to the spacecoast in the late 1980's to early 1990's, and the rest were obtained via the mail. Sadly, it appears at least seven of these gentleman are no longer with us.

All times are CT (US)
