One of the highlights of our visit to the USS&RC was talking to our children about their Papa's (my Dad's) role in the Space Program. They were thrilled to see the part he helped design on the Saturn V, the connecting ring between stages 1 & 2.

That event was on display at the museum as well. It was a great way to remember my dad just a few days after what would have been his 71st birthday.
The entry didn't show up when I checked for your dad's name! (Nancy)
