What I'd like to know is how did you manage to stowaway on the Apollo
11 mission? Must have taken that photo when Neil and Buzz were out
for a stroll.

Houston Space Center has a great display(s)..

BTW Jay, fantastic bunch of shots!!

Speaking of photos and piloting incentive:

My first flight was from a grass strip in Nebraska in a J3, age 4, 1947 -
I'm the mean looking dude in suspenders!
First "job" (after my mowing lawns career was marking fields for a crop
duster (why I still have operating lungs is a mystery).
Then 4 years in the Navy, flying back seat radar operator in S2F Grumman
anti-sub trackers, with the honor of witnessing the pickups of astronauts
Shirra & Copper aboard the USS Kearsarge!! Fantastic!!
20 years after my J-3 flight, I got my PPL in 1967. Only was active for 4-5
years, but at least racked up a few hundred hours to satisfy the desire to
do it, and one eye went from fair to terrible so knew any airline
aspirations were trashed. But, I wouldn't trade the experiences for
anything!!!

Cheers'n beers.. [_])
