Where did you run into Von Braun? My dad worked for him. Everybody here knew him, we all went to the NASA picnics, tours of NASA, say him at sears buying a lawnmower and stuff like that around town. He gave me a "Ticket to Mars in Your Lifetime" once. I left it at my grandparents' house and never saw it again. Wish I still had it!
