I thought they always had that reunion in Tuscon? Guess not. It was back there a few years ago, and my aunt was able to go to it and talk with many of the crew. She even got my the biography of their mission and got it autographed by a few of the members that were still alive. Give me a few minutes, I'll put up some pics Smile
