This is a nice event. Usually the guest astronaut speaks twice. Nice displays, nice gift shop. Save the date on your calendar. |

Thank you for the plug. You have always been a great supporter of One Giant Leap. I wish that you could attend and help out but it is H.S. baseball season then.The items we will have on exhibit will be fantastic. How often will you get to see items flown to the moons surface and closer up close? |

I look forward to attending. It usually is on Sunday though. I wonder why they changed it to Saturday. In any case Dr. Musgrave is always an interesting speaker. |

If anyone is interested in getting a signed glossy of Story please let me know. I will have a few (brown suit, EVA action and Apollo suit) that I can get signed the way you want all for a donation of $50 plus shipping to OGL. There will be no photos donated by us for him to sign that day so if you come, you might want to bring your items. |

We are getting ready to host a great exhibit. We will have flown EVA items from Apollo 15, STS-115, 126 and a few others. Plus training items, photos, an Apollo suit (mock up) and photos, books and patches signed by astronauts who ventured out into space.We hope you will stop by and introduce yourself to a great staff of One Giant Leap. Please feel free to comment on our new backdrop that is one of the coolest ever made! |

Do we know what time Dr. Musgrave's presentations will be, if he is doing them? I will try to arrange my visit around that. |

One week to go. I hope people will stop by to check out a cuff checklist that went to the lunar surface, pieces of the Hubble and other items that flew from the Gemini days to the ISS.We will be raising money by selling photos, books — Olivas, Jones, W. Scott, Ross Musgrave, models and autographs. If you are interested in any of these items and cannot make it, send me an email. But mostly come and meet Story Musgrave. |

Story was one of the hits of the event (Star Wars Stormtroopers and R2-D2 were the others) at the New England Space Day. His sold out talks were inspirational! The line was long to meet and get an item signed.This will be the last time I take orders for autographs unless it is a private signing. There was very little time to sit down with him and do things to the expectations people had and the items they sent in. We did the best he could. I still will help people who have helped One Giant Leap in the past but I made the error of putting it out to everyone. All the items will be shipped out by Saturday. Please take the time to see Story wherever he is talking. He is worth the price of admission. Our exhibit went well but our main items had to stay home due to the illness of the exhibitor (24 hour bug). He spent so much time and effort, that we really feel for him. His items would have blown the attendees away. No other astronaut is planned for awhile but never say never with OGL! Thank you. — Bryan |

Congratulation Bryan and OGL for another great New England astronaut event.My prior trip to the Space Expo at New England Air Museum was well worth the 400 mile drive. |
