I recently acquired a crew-signed Gemini 3 launch photo with the matting signed by Gus Grissom and John Young inscribed to a Gemini Project Manager. The inscription mentions Molly Brown by name. This is also the John Young sandwich flight.

It's a beautiful piece with a very slight fade, the signatures are terrific. This item is framed 12x13. An incredible rare piece. $2350.

I watched that eBay auction where signed prints for almost every Gemini mission (with GT-4 signed by White only). I even bid on the GT-10. That was an amazing collection of Gemini signed pictures.

Does anyone know who Red was? All the prints were inscribed to him.

Yes, it's a magnificent collection. Here is the response from the listing of the GT-3 -
"Red" is my late father-in-law, Colin A. Harrison. He was a chief engineer for Martin on the Titans. Basically the mechanic for the vehicle that took these guys into orbit. Red was close friends with the astronauts.
The eBay seller has had parts of his collection listed for the past few months. Unfortunately the gentlemen has passed away. Very grateful for his contribution.

Just emailed you a link with further information
