Great piece, Sean. Yes, if Gus did not die an untimely death, there is a strong possibility he would have been the first man to step onto the moon.

Thanks Steve! yeah and I think Ed White would have stood a great chance as well thanks to his Gemini eva. Its pretty amazing meeting the Apollo 9 crew. I hope they will all be at Spacefest again this year

As a child wanting to be an astronaut, Edward White was my hero. The Apollo fire was beyond belief. The 50 year anniversary is right around the corner (January 27). I still have my space scrapbook that I put together in the 1960's, including the newspaper clippings from the fire.

Has been another very lean year as I continue to limit my spending on either
specific vintage Detroit Tigers autographs I still need for my collection, or
those bargain items too good to pass on.

That said, I managed to cross off two names on my Tigers autograph want
list; Matty McIntyre photo album cut (first name only), and a Sleepy Bill Burns
signed cut. Bargain items too good to pass on in 2016 are represented by a
memo book, pages single signed by most of the 1934 Detroit Tigers
team, including Clyde Hatter.

This is the Sleepy Bill Burns from 1919 world series fame; the go-between from Rothstein to the players? Any chance you could post a picture?
