My grandmother worked at the Marshall Space Flight Center for 29 years — she was the personal secretary for Dr. Wernher von Braun and many others. Before she died she gave me a box of papers, books, negatives, etc.

I'm not a collector — just curious as to what I have. I have speeches and writings by Dr. Braun. I've searched online and can't find these:

  • "Why I believe in Immortality" - 3 pages
  • The Many Faces of Space - presented on March 24, 1964 to the American Ordnance Association in Orlando, FL - 26 pages
  • April 3, 1964, Annapolis Naval Academy 45 pages
  • Saturn Progress, Texas A&M University, Feb 14, 1964 - 21 pages
...and then 40-50 booklets like "The Search for Extraterrestrial Life" 1963. Negatives and lots of photos.

Need some help

collectSPACE members ilbasso (also an author) and I both live in Greensboro if you want to meet, and author Rick Houston is in Yadkinville — you've come to the right website...

Pictures are helpful, especially for handwritten items or photos (see here for info on posting images).

Hello Ispooz, hope you are well. Does your offer to meet still stand? Sorry for the delay! I still have all the materials.

We're all still here, although Ward and Houston have more knowledge and contacts than me — while I can't speak for them, I'm busy thru cold and flu season (pediatrician) but would love to see all that great stuff someday.

Be safe during the "season." My email is nathan@nathantabor.com.

Can you send me your contact info along with the others? Maybe we can get together the first of the year.

I have a little free time here and there - email for collectSPACE members is listed in the little envelope above each message so you can reach anyone here. — Larry
