Dave Leestma always looked so incredibly young... he looks like he could be the 15-year-old son of one of his fellow astronauts in this photo...FF |

Tom, the photo is not dated, but the number leads me to believe it was taken in early 1983.Ed |

Thanks, Ed.
The reason I asked was that I believe he was the only active Navy astronaut missing from the photo. |
