I have been thinking a lot about family. Well, my dad, of course. And my mom's dad, Norm, who passed away 12 years ago yesterday. And my grandma's father as we try to solve a little family mystery. I was going through family things today trying to find answers when I found the letter above, from my great-grandfather Neal to his wife. At least I get to call.In other cool things, check out my g-pa with Jim Lovell. He's the one on the far right with the now-back-in-style skinny tie.

How cool is that? My Uncle works for NASA right now.
Doug actually was watching a new NASA show a few weeks ago and for like two seconds saw Papa in it :) He also had a shot where it was just his nose and forehead but luckily that was recognizable ;) Doug bought the DVD set and showed it to me.. only the good parts with Papa in it! He said I can borrow it to show you and your bro.
