Connections

When I was a young boy, I used to write a lot of letters to government agencies and large corporations.  Usually I wrote requesting information, or, proposing product ideas.  Above, a response from NASA, prior to John Glenn's first orbiting of the earth.  I had wished him well.  Thank you, John Glenn.  Oh, color added by me, just because I felt like it.

When I brought the NASA letter to school, they called in the media, and the next day I was featured on the front page of the local paper, see above.  Now-a-days they would have gotten a statement from the kid, but not back then.  Just the facts.
