I have tickets to see Fred Haise at the Cradle of Aviation Museum this Friday (Oct. 24, 2003) and was wondering, does he sign autographs in-person? |

Fred Haise is usually very good with signing autographs. I'm sure you'll have a great experience. |

Not only does Fred Haise sign (as he did for me tonight), but he also gives a GREAT lecture. It was quite a thrill to see him in person, and an even greater thrill to hear him tell the Apollo 13 story. A true hero. It was a real honor to meet him. |

Fred did give a very interesting lecture. I was unaware of his plane crash in the mid-70's and the fact that he was burned over 65% of his body. Took him 14 months to get back on flight status and, of course, went on to command ALT.Got my earthrise and Saturn model signed, too.

I would like to send Fred Haise a request for an autograph. Does he sign through the mail? |

Fred Haise no longer responds to autograph requests through the mail. |

I was going through my collection today and found something I hadn't noticed before. I have a photo of the Apollo 13 crew (with Jack Swigert) and Fred Haise has signed it Fred W. Haise. On a photo of Enterprise with Haise and Fullerton, it's signed Fred Haise. Are both of these autopens? Thanks. |

Could anyone tell me if Mr. Haise actually said "We're not gonna have power much longer. The ship's bleeding to death." I would like him to put that on a picture for me, but only if it's what he said. I'm headed out to Spacefest, thanks guys... |

That I believe is a line from Bill Paxton's portrayal of Fred Haise in "Apollo 13" and not from the mission itself. |

The Apollo 13 transcript available online can provide a wealth of 'really-said-that' ideas.I scoured the document for just the right line to go with signing of the slip-on cover for my unflown LM CO2 Partial Pressure meter. The meter flagged the rising CO2 levels in the LM and the need to re-purpose CM canisters for scrubbing cabin CO2 to a safe level. Following the filter-improvisation-fix, Fred's understated comment (upon Houston's confirmation of a favorable read from the LM instrument) seemed like the perfect add. LMP - 03:22:31:33: "Boy, that is great" Good luck with the hunt - it's a lengthy document at almost 800 pages but also an interesting read. I'm sure you'll enjoy your signing event. |
