They are going fast

I had the honor of meeting this man. I remember my Dad calling my work phone from SAV A Connie now Airline History Museam in KC Downtown Airport. I turned my work truck around and headed to downtown airport. When i got there Dad had completed the tour or the Lockeed Constellation and he and dad were eating a roast beef sandwich and a cup coffee in the dirty lunch room of the hanger that men in the 70s and 80s take care of sort of. My Dad introduced me and shook hands and I just sat and listened to these two man talk airplanes and Navy stories. Gene was a humble quiet man I was in awe knowing
i was in the presence of a legend and true American hero. I wasnt the only Mercury and Apollo Astronaut i met at SAC many came to see a airplane that was so important in its day. All were just as you imagined just extraordinary honorable men.

RIP Mr Cernan you made a large impression on me.
