Does anyone know of a good site in which I can find substantial quotes from John Young speaking about his life pre-NASA, and/or about his first Gemini mission? I'm preparing some information on GT-3 and would like to have some personal insights from him in that piece, if available.

G'day Colin,

The best website (and only one as far as I'm aware) is the excellent website that Dana Holland has put together. The URL is http://www.johnwyoung.org .

Dana has a wealth of material up there and I'm sure would gladly help out with any questions you may have.

All the best,

Derek

Hi Derek, I'll certainly check that site, although it's been showing as "Temporarily Unavailable" all day.

Cheers, Colin

Hi Colin,

Dana just provided me with her updated URL last week. Perhaps her server is down? Are you a member of Al Hallonquists group on yahoo? If so, post a message for her there and I'm sure she'll get back to you.

Regards, Derek

We're having fits with our DNS server right now. I just checked and the www.johnwyoung.org domain seems to be working at the moment. You can also try www.johnwyoung.com - that one seems to be more consistent.

Thanks Dana - I couldn't log on even after your message, but tonight the site seems to be back in business.

Colin
