Thanks Gen. McDivitt, Kim, Sally and Novaspace. The signing was for charities (like Frank Borman's).

I also noticed that the signing report is now up on the Novaspace site, with some of the questions in this topic answered by McDivitt. No video yet, but I assume that will be coming soon.

It's only been a week. We can't mail out everything the same day. We're getting about 50 items out a day, so it may be weeks before we get some of the more complex items out.

No one seems to disparage auction houses much, although people are still waiting on consignments, checks or winnings months later.

I'm still editing hours of video. Jim had so many stories we won't be able to post one-quarter of them, but we'll do a CD for cheap, and get most of it on there. Folkswho ordered a photo COA will have it all on their CD.

Be patient. We've got four people working every day to return your goods. Thanks!

Patience is indeed the key. Would people rather have you rush items out of the door in sub-standard packaging...or would they rather wait, be methodical, and be assured of having the correct items in bulletproof packaging? I'm sure when they sit back and think about it, they'll realize the wait is worth it if it means an item arriving safely.

Of course, I can say that since my items have already arrived!

I, for one, would love to be able to order a CD with as much of the McDivitt footage as will fit on it. There is so little material available for McDivitt (no books, for example) that cover his career...that anything like this is a welcome addition to my collection. He has often been overshadowed by his fellow moon-traveling astronauts...but from what I've seen, he has a great perspective on the overall program, being both an astronaut and a manager for the Apollo program. Plus, he appears to have a well defined sense of humor that is easily overlooked. Maybe not Pete Conrad-esque, but definitely a sharp cookie with a lot to say...if people will listen. I'm a little saddened to hear a McDivitt book is not in the works...but was happy to find his oral history at the NASA site.

I have had sort of slow period collecting lately. It seems my stuff has been getting lost in the mail lately, so this was a big emotional boost. I finally had something fresh to throw on my website.

The packaging was brilliant. The placement etc… of the signature was perfect too. You can't say enough good things about the quality of the service that Kim provides.

Thanks.

I also got the CD of the interview; I haven’t had time to watch it yet. I have to watch the other new DVDs I got first. Queen - Live at Wembley Stadium, Monterey Pop Music Festival complete collection from Criterion and Kill Bill 1 & 2.

My McDivitt material arrived today from Kim and Sally Poor at Novaspace.

General McDivitt signed everything perfectly, which I attribute to Kim and Sally's good directions and experience.

The items were packed so well that they could have been dropped by the FEDEX aircraft over my house on final approach and arrived undamaged that much faster.

The CD of McDivitt is wonderful. It is worth the money to pick that CD up.

So Kim, Sally and all the staff, thanks for the great job.

Too bad he doesn't do autograph shows, I would imagine he would be a great choice to sit with at dinner, full of anecdotes and stories, like Wally.

Great work Novaspace.
