There is a fascinating article in the December issue of "Spaceflight," published by the British Interplanetary Society about the Cosmonaut Post Office at Star City. There are pictures of the filing cabinets where requests for autographs from foreigners are stored. It mentions that the staff is down to 2 people. It also shows examples of some of the envelopes used to return autograph requests. An interesting read for collectors of cosmonaut covers and autographs. |

David, Very interesting, indeed. With BIS's permission, that article, with pictures, would make for a very interesting and appreciated article in the SU's Astrophile. Bob Mc. |
