Dave Swan | BS: Endeavour Shuttle fly by (10) | RE: BS: Endeavour Shuttle fly by | 21 Sep 12 |
Peter T. had a great Gus Grissom story. When Peter was a kid his father , a wing commander in the Canadian Forces , was assigned on an exchange program to a large US airbase. Peter had just been seated for a haircut in the base barber shop when Grissom blew in looking for a quick touch up of his flattop. Peter recognized the astronaut and quickly stood to offer his seat. Grissom was most gracious and tore a sheet out of a flight plan to autograph for Peter. |
