Thanks Garry, but I really can't take any credit for this one — cS members Farris Rookstool and Howard Weinberger arranged it so that cS readers could participate. Thanks guys! |

Any idea if any of the astronauts in attendance will be signing autographs? And if they are, will their usual signing fees be in effect?Jim |

For anyone who has not received the auction catalogue but plans to attend the reception on March 24, I thought it may be helpful to advise that this is a mix and mingle opportunity for collectors and space enthusiasts and not an autograph session. This is an opportunity for the astronauts to talk about some of the artifacts they have consigned, share some stories and meet some of the folks who will be bidding on their items. It has been requested that people not ask for autographs. As most collectors know, these gentlemen normally receive a fee for signing and there will be no such set-up for that. Reasonable requests for photos I'm sure would be appropriate. | |
