Too cool!!!

A good friend of mine - a fellow teacher at my school - went to visit her father over the summer. While she was visiting him, she asked him to sign pictures for each of my boys. Her father didn't have any pictures of himself left, so he signed pictures of the thing that made him famous.

Who is her Dad?

Her dad took these pictures...this is the command module of the first manned test of the Apollo Lunar Module:

Her dad is none other than Jim McDivitt, the commander of Gemini 4 and Apollo 9. Yep, the one who was on the cover of Time Magazine.

How cool is that? :-)
