The Jefferson Space Museum has an article about a $2 bill flown on Apollo 16 and mentions Boeing equipment engineer Robert Horne, who packed and stowed the personal preference kits (PPKs) on the Apollo 9-17 missions.
During the Apollo program, Bob was the Boeing Equipment Engineer assigned to the Johnson Space Center flight crew support team and was stationed at Kennedy Space Center. After assisting in the packing and stowing of the PPKs for the crew on Apollo 9, Bob personally was responsible for packing all of the lunar module and command module PPKs for all of the remaining Apollo Missions -- from Apollo 10 through Apollo 17. Bob listed, packed, stowed the individual astronauts' PPKs.
