I've just had some news from Dianne at the AAC office. She's said that the black presentation boxes will be arriving in Jan, there were some production problems at the printers.

Has anyone received their Scott Carpenter one yet?

All the best

The first shipment (Carpenter) was mailed (I think) on Friday 17th December so hopefully us UK members might receive them on Thursday or Friday. Those lucky enough to live on the other side of "the pond" might have theirs a little earlier than we do.

I wonder if Scott personalised ALL the photographs? Wouldn't it be awesome if all the astronauts personalised the photographs to us?

Best regards,

Mine has arrived too, and what a great photo it is too! It's not personalised either, maybe that was for the first 50 or so that signed up?

Of course now I'm going to have to have a holiday to Miami sometime before December 05...

I think Eilis (like me) signed up in December which might explain the lack of a personalisation.

Like you, I hope Schmitt can be persuaded to join the AAC for 2006 and if they could get either Mike Collins or John Young (I'm dreaming here!!) I'm sure they'd have no trouble in filling all 350 memberships.

I signed up at Autographica, which I think is the same as Derek. Our posts will cross soon and we can find out for sure(-:

I think on my wish list, apart from Neil Armstrong, would be Sally Ride and John Young

Why don't you send Sally Ride what you want signed? She only charges $15 for a signature.

I'd no idea that she signed - I got the impression that she didn't anymore.

Could someone please email me off-list with some contact details, or appropriate link?

Well looks like you did not leave your e-mail address with Collect Space. Drop me a line and I will send you a reply.

I think that's sorted now, and an email is on its way to you, Mike.

Just a quickie... I actually only signed up for the 2005 AAC in mid November. I was swithering at Autographica whether to join or not... didn't take too long to decide!! Best decision I've made.

I've only just received mine, thanks to the efficiency of Royal Mail...ended up going to collect the package myself and losing my wallet in the process!

Still - great item! So far that's my favourite, and much nicer than my other Alan Bean sig.

Does anyone know who will be next month's astro?

Sorry to hear about your tale of woe with the Royal Mail and losting your wallet. Many of us UK members of cS have had many run-ins with the Royal Mail/Post Office so you are not alone.

The Bean pic is my favourite so far as well. I'm so looking forward to the others coming.... especially Aldrin, Schweickart, McDivitt and Haise... heck, I'm looking forward to them all. No idea who next months will be. I asked Dianne at the ASF but she isn't giving anything away .

I quite enjoy not knowing, although if I've got to collect any more of them it's going to be an expensive year.

Once we get to November I could make an accurate guess about December (-:

All the best

I like your thinking <LOL>. Whats the bets that its going to be Buzz Aldrin in December

That would be a sweet Christmas pressie! Perhaps next years AAC could be themed: astronauts by month of mission (-:

My wallet turned up too Derek - near you in Scotland! As a London resident who's not been up there for over 10 years I'm a little surprised to say the least...
