Very impressed with you also keeping the ticket price low, Nick. £10 to see Jerry is extraordinary. |

Watched the Mission Control movie last night. Whetted the appetite for meeting Jerry Bostick in August. Meet these legends when you get the opportunity. They all have stories to tell from being a part of our greatest adventure... so far. |

I enjoyed hearing and meeting Jerry Bostick yesterday at Pelsall, near Walsall. A very pleasant and interesting man and what an era he had when working in Mission Control. The Q&A was in particular enlightening and he was persuaded to tell us of his personal stories with some of the legends he was friends with. A big thank you to all of you who arranged for Jerry to cross the Atlantic to speak to us. |

Jerry is safely back home and rested after an extended U.K stay courtesy of hurricane Harvey. Sympathies to all of those in its path and now the the ongoing Irma.Jerry coped with a full three day schedule including a dinner event, the National Space Centre lecture, a U3A event in Lichfield with 100 plus audience, then an evening lecture in Pelsall. All of this following his earlier activities in nearby Wales with Craig Scott. Thanks Jerry, wonderful insights, anecdotes and a different slant on the U.S. Space program and its history. |
