I also came across a Newsweek magazine from February 6, 1967 where the cover story is the Apollo Tragedy. What a time capsule that is!

We were then transferred to the Washington DC area and he worked at the Pentagon, in what we were recently told was the NRO, until the late 1960s. Apparently he was a liaison with other companies helping direct satellite position and photography. Lastly we were stationed at Vandenberg AFB. He retireed a Lt Col after 20+ years.

After that career (and another in State Government of Oregon), he then worked part time at an art dealer/broker for many years. From that stint we have a Paul Calle Neil Armstrong framed print pencil signed by both men. It has been matted and framed properly for many years. The black metal frame has some scuffing in a couple of corners due to moves and storage, but the print looks great. It is S/N 831/1000.

I also have a small information card of "Helping Hands" with a personal note to my Dad from Alan Bean referencing Navy and Air Force. It was common for him to meet some artists or famous people associated with the art work he helped sell.

Lastly, although not space related, but worth mentioning, is a National Air and Space Museum poster of Enola Gay signed by all the crew. I have a photo somewhere of Paul Tibbets with my Dad as he signed the poster at an event.
