This is marvelous, Glenn. My late father had a brief contract gig with NASA when he worked at NIH, and I became fascinated with space travel and all the NASA missions. This is an amazing chunk of history. Too bad you couldn't get a photo of the West mansion!

Lol. You can take the guy out of the book editing but you can’t take the book editor outta the guy! I’ll go check it out…curious.
