Forty years ago today, the Apollo 13 crew returned safely to earth after an unprecedented emergency halfway to the moon. Ten years later, in 1980, the crew re-enacted their official crew portrait at a reunion.

I think that's the first photo I've ever seen of Jack Swigert with anything but a crewcut-style of haircut. He looks a bit like Dustin Hoffman!

Other than a group shot of an astronaut gathering, I think that's the only post NASA shot of Swigert I have seen at all!
