I am sure, those in the group who are much more qualified will give you a more definitive opinion.

Note that she signed "BS" in the middle that refers to "Blair Salton." Later on when signing so many autographs, Dr. Clark had shorten her signature to "Laurel Clark." Unfortunately, STS-107 had been her only spaceflight assignment when Columbia had been lost with her crew in Jan. 2003.
