I sat next to Sen. Garn in the audience. He must have been responsible for the association meeting Salt Lake City, as he is a former astronaut — the only U.S. Senator to go into space while in office. He was terribly disappointed in the low turnout. Schools were told about the meeting but not many classes came. I got an autograph for our son, Sky, from Scott Carpenter on an association poster. He seemed surprised that anyone wanted it. Sent from my iPhone

Members of the Utah Space Association were invited to attend the meetings of the Association of Space Explorers. Cosmonaut Alexei Leonov smiled at me when I looked his direction. I told this to my brother's adopted Russian sons, and they were impressed by that. I also met Gordon Cooper, and other later astronauts. _______________________________________________ Utah-Astronomy mailing list http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/utah-astronomy
