    This isn't my event, but I said I'd post it for the organiser. Give you an early heads up.

    Apollo astronaut Al Worden is being brought over in September for 2 events, the first is a lecture and the second is a dinner with him as special guest. You can have your photo taken with him and also get an item autographed.

    All the details are being posted to this website. Being updated regularly.

    That is really something to protect and pass down through the family as an heirloom.

    That is very kind of you Mr Beeker sir. I hope to be well in a couple of years :)

    I hope to be well enough to travel long before that though :)

    Seriously hope everyone who attends has a wonderful evening, with what I must admit, is a genuine hero of our times.

    Was there for the talk. What an absolutely fantastic guy. Forthright with his opinions and honest while managing to be both very funny and informative as well. It was a very special evening.

    He was amazing, took him a few minutes to get up to full speed but then he took off. No stopping him. I'd say he could have gone on all night if let.
