AHOF 2008

Post by Pete Conrad Fan »

I'm gonna be there tomorrow.

"Hoot" will be there as well. He'll be signing in the morning, but that's the time I'll be having lunch with John Young & Charlie Duke, so I'll just have to wave Space Camp Barbie in the air as he is introduced :P

Any questions someone wants me to ask the Apollo 16 Moonwalkers?

I got to meet Guenter Wendt!

And Bob Crippen!

They were both very nice, including Mr. Wendt's daughter who took the picture of her Dad and I for me.

There are more pictures on my Flickr
including pictures of Charlie Bolden, Frederick Gregory, Charlie Duke and others if interested. Ended up in "NASA Seating", don't know what that meant, but Dad and I ended up on TV. :lol:

John Young was answering questions about why we stopped going to the moon and talked about the three remaining Saturn V rockets. My Dad and I were sitting as close to him as anyone could (right in the front). He blanked on the third location and I said just loud enough that he could hear "Huntsville", which he looked at me and repeated it. I can never tell if he was pissed or thankful. Well his expression never changes and his humor is dry as a bone, so I'll probably never know :P


And Team Columbia! I got "Hoot"'s attention and waved Space Camp Barbie which got a response of a big grin and a thumbs up. Gotta love "Hoot"

Very cool photos!

It looks like it was an excellent time!

I can clearly see from the photos that Space Camp Barbie had a wonderful time, as well!
