Tony Jenzano, Astronaut Trainer: The Man Who Made the Stars Shine
by Michael G. Neece, Illustrations by Benlin Alexander
Perfect for grades 2 through 5, this unique biography of astronaut trainer Tony Jenzano shows how this son of immigrants provided life-saving training for astronauts in the United States space program. Tony Jenzano is one of the many lesser known people who helped America's first space explorers get to the moon safely.

From 1960 to 1975, he oversaw celestial navigation training for 62 NASA astronauts — including Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Jim Lovell — at Morehead Planetarium in Chapel Hill, NC.

As pointed out here, nice to see Jenzano’s role in the US space program highlighted to a new generation.
