Kennedy Space Center security chief Charles Buckley has some fun during his retirement party in June 1981.

Not sure I’ve ever seen a picture of Mr. Buckley but certainly have his (facsimile) signature imprinted by way of badges.

No doubt a tough and serious person given the gravity of his position but fun to see the lighter side.

Thanks, Ed. Good stuff as always.

I'm sure you have seen him before. He was the guy standing next to the door of the Astrovan when the crew left the Manned Spacecraft Operations Building on most Apollo missions.

Indeed! I see sometimes he was in suit and tie and other times in a white hard hat and coveralls, but in all cases he looks quite earnest and focused.

All times are CT (US)
