Two days ago I discovered your "photo of the week" postings... They are really great. I spend the entire afternoon looking at all the pictures you posted.... Thank you for posting this picture of Mr. Schirra... Maybe some pictures of his famous gotchas? Henk Boshuijer |

Wally would probably say regarding this photo: "Would you like fries with your order?..."Another great photo. How did you assemble such a great collection? Jim |

Thanks, Ed. If I am not mistaken the top one was just after Cece Bibby painted the Sigma 7, the Gemini is from the combined Gemini 6 and 7 crew session and the third is the great man from the Apollo 7 crew shot. Am I right?Clear Skies, Skyray! Jim Busby |
