Sad to report the recent passing of yet another of the 32 finalists for the Mercury astronaut group. LTC Robert Edwin Solliday, USMC, died on 22 February 2018.

He and John Glenn were the only Marine Corps finalists for NASA's first astronaut intake. His passing leaves only 5 of the 32 finalists still with us: Harold (Chris) Christian, Jr., Frank D. Frazier. Thomas B. Hayward, James A. Lovell, Jr. and Alonzo J. Walter, Jr.
