correctiveshoes621Oh. Em. Gee.
Houston? We've got another one.
Lovely, lovely gentleman, Mr. H. - - who helped design the pilot seating for the Mercury-Redstone launch vehicle...and further, on the Gemini missions, as well..Worked at Cape Canaveral..and, OH, how one after the other failed and crashed..
He lit up when I laughed and said, "Oh, you never should have told me that.", and was delighted when I found his missing pajama pants :)
I really hate to be a pain, but, y'know..If he has any stories he wants to tell, y'know..I'd be happy to listen..

Have fun!
And I'm not even going to ask how you came to have his pajama bottoms. ;)
