Just listed on eBay, humorous get well card sent to Alan Shepard by his fellow shipmates while recovering from the Mumps at the U.S. Naval Hospital, Annapolis, MD. (1944).

Neat item.

Looking at the envelope addressed to Shepard by Louise, it becomes pretty evident who was signing some of his fan mail in later years.

Many thanks for the kind comment, Chuck.

That's interesting Steve. I'd like to see some of those. Contact me if you would like more Mrs. Shepard exemplars. I have about 40 handwritten addressed letters to Shep.

Interesting that Louise Shepard also contributed some 'secretarial' autographs on mail/photos/lithos for her husband. Was this unique, or did other spouses indulge?
