 |  posted 09-06-2003 07:22 AM         Robert, the PR wiz, asked a few months back if anyone knew of a child, 8-12 or so, who collected astronaut autographs.  The result of the inquiry has now hit the news stand.  Thanks Robert.
     The new issue of "Martha Stewart Kids" (the back-to-school/Halloween issue) has a two-page spread featuring some of my daughter's autographs (A. Fisher, Glenn, Gordon, Magnus, Sellers, Bean).  The photos of the autographs look great.  I suspect the brief interview piece was edited to make Anna sound like a nine year old, but the basics are correct.   The piece is actually at the back of the insert entitled "how now" within the magazine.  No internet link I fear, but the magazine should be on most news stands, either in the kids or crafts section, most likely (it has a light blue upper third with the magazine's name, while the bottom two-third is split into six pictures, almost all Halloween oriented). |

 My 11-year old daughter collects since last year. I began in the early 90`s collecting autographs dedicated to her from the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo astronauts I met several times in person. She will continue on our collection in the future! I am looking forward to introduce some of the moonwalkers to her. Happy collecting! |
