Re: Shaking hands or autographs

From Fred Haise, I got an autograph, but I don't know where it is.
Anyway, I don't care about autographs.
There are some who are after celebrities' autographs not because of who they are but because the autograph seekers hope to sell them at a price.
That's why shaking hands with a moonwalker is, for me, far far more rewarding than having his autograph.
You shared aldrin's life for one day and he shared yours for that same day. I'd say it's worth a lot!
When I saw Sally Ride in Brussels, I didn't have a camera but I noticed someone (an official) took pictures. Days after the event, I called (several times unsuccessfully)several people and finally found out how to obtain pictures, went to visit the headquarters of the event organizer and chose several pictures from a whole serie of them.
(I'm between Rick and Sally, behind, on the first picture and behind, right, on the second one ); the first picture is also framed near my bed.
