Has anyone had any experience with Gus Loria signing? I'd like to add him to my collection of X-31 test pilots. I wrote to ask if it was okay on April 20, with no response. |

Never had a reply from Loria, whether during his years with NASA nor in his new jobs. |

Al, Gus Loria did briefly sign through the mail right after being selected, but, like many other astronauts, became a career non-signer - possibly after seeing his autographs for sale.But on the positive side, he did agree to a paid signing back in 2014 and I had him sign a portrait (with "NASA Group 16" added) and a cover. Sorry you missed that opportunity, but since he did sign some material 6 years ago, there is some autograph material of his around and some could be available. I just checked and it was Bryan McKay who arranged that paid signing and hopefully he might still have something signed by Loria available. Good luck in your Gus pursuit - it's a tough one. |

I have a signed picture of Gus Loria. It was not a photo I sended, so it must have been signed on a signing, maybe through Bryan McKay, as I had also other items signed through him.So I am very happy I have a signed photo.  |

We have much to be grateful to Bryan and Larry McGlynn with this event a few years ago. I was lucky enough to meet Colonel Loria as a result. Much stuff was signed that day for collectors, and many gaps filled. |
