I met Jim Lovell, the astronaut (he’s the one who said “Houston, we’ve had a problem”), once. I was in junior high and they were dedicating a park to him in the Cleveland area; my father was able to get me out of class to attend the dedication ceremony. I got to meet him! He said I was very polite for mine age. I was about a full foot shorter then than I am now, and I was still taller than he was. My dad got a picture of the two of us; I think it’s still around here somewhere (though offhand I don’t have access to it).
