I TOOK THESE PICTURES OF ALAN SHEPARD'S VISIT. A FRIEND OF MINE FLEW COMMANDER SHEPARD TO COLUMBIA FROM HOUSTON ON 9/14/94. HE ASKED ME TO MEET HIM AT HIS COMPANY'S HANGER. I WAS THEN FORTUNATE TO BE IN THE PRESENCE OF THE FIRST AMERICAN IN SPACE. I WAS LOST FOR WORDS WHEN I MET HIM BUT THE EXPERIENCE WAS QUITE FULFILLING. I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER ALAN SHEPARD. HE WAS NOT THE "ICE COMMANDER" DURING HIS VISIT HERE.
