Wow, I had no idea he wrote a book and published it on his own. I was lucky enough to meet BG Stewart when I was going through adult Space Camp with Hoot Gibson and Bob Springer. Three astronauts, alll named Robert in the same spot; I thought that was an amazing moment.  I didn't have much time to talk with him but as an Army veteran myself, I was happy to meet the first Army astronaut. I'd love to read this book. |

I just called and ordered the signed book from Harrison Bros. She said he just brought in more books yesterday. She asked how I heard about it calling from Texas, as someone from New Jersey called yesterday about it. I told her about collectSPACE and the posting and that she may start getting more calls for orders. I worked in the same office as Gen. Stewart at Air Force Space Command HQ in the mid-90s and am anxious to read his story. |

Cheryl stated they have been in contact with Gen. Stewart and he is in contact with the publisher. Even before she confirmed that I had a copy, she assured me that more copies will be on the way. She appreciates the response from all of the collectSPACE followers. Use their contact phone number or email, they will get in contact with you and let know book copies status. |
