I have many items and letters from NASA. R.M. Shannon was a certified test team member for the Apollo CSM program. There is so much to list because my father got to know the man and he passed these on to him. There are original letters from NASA dated July 16, 1969 as well as letters and lithographs given to him and his family as gifts for being involved with the Apollo 11 and 8 missions. There is also an original training manual titled "Apollo Training: Apollo Spacecraft and Systems Familiarization Course Number APC-118" with Shannon's name on the front. Dated Feb 24 1967.There is also a very nice Letter from T.J. O'Malley with attached lithographs in a NASA large envelope. The photos as described in the letter to Mr. Shannon include astronaut Pete Conrad near the Surveyor 3 spacecraft and a picture of one of the Apollo 11 crew on the lunar surface.
Also I have Apollo achievement awards for service culminating in the successful of mans first landing on the moon given to R.M. Shannon by the admin of NASA.
I have an original Apollo 8 bumper sticker as well still untouched.
There is so many letters and lithographs it is hard to list them all here... Not to mention I also have a part from the launchpad as well. It is named the telemetry data cable. I can take pics to show everyone but this stuff is all original and I am just wondering the value of items like these.
