We were first in line to meet the two Astronauts, and here Scott gets his model signed by Culbertson. Notice the local CBS television affiliate gets a nice shot of the model and Culbertson!
I (Jeff) was second in line, and just as I was speaking with Commander Culbertson, I was told by "protocol" personnel that time was short, so only the portraits could be signed. That by itself would not be that bad, except I had already placed my STS-105 lithograph on the table to get the last needed autograph on that one.
It was a nice litho - soon to be fully signed by all of those on STS-105. Somehow, that lithograph was missing as I moved to the end of the table ... it's nowhere to be found!
In the bottom picture, there I am (right) holding the one litho I got signed. It's always a privilege to meet Astronauts, and this day was no exception - the missing STS-105 autographed litho is sure to turn up on eBay.
