Unfortunately i never got to meet Conrad. Infact he is the only member of the Apollo 12 crew i never met. I met Alan Bean at space camp in 1991 and i've met Dick Gordon twice at work. Apollo 12 will always have a special place in my heart it was seeing the Command Module when i was 5 that giot me intrested in space. Now i get to see it every time i go to work. If only there was a way to remove the piece of skin that has all 3 of the crew's signatures on it and add that to my collection. But i think that might get me in trouble.
