The photo below was taken by me and shows astronaut Vance Brand sharing some memories with a gentleman from Canada.





I also enjoyed Mr. Brand's lecture when he talked about his Apollo-Soyuz experiences back in the first half of the 1970's.



Another astronaut at the show was Gerald Carr - Commander of the Skylab 4 mission.





However, the stars of the show were astronauts Jim Lovell and Dave Scott. The photograph below was taken by me, showing these two distinguished space voyagers together with a fan.

During the dinner I was remarkably fortunate in being welcome to join the table hosted by Mr. and Mrs. David Scott. The photograph below shows the three of us after the dinner.
