TLS signed “Alan,” one page, 8.5 x 11, Coors letterhead, May 19, 1977. Letter to fellow astronaut Jim Irwin. In full: “I apologize for the delay in answering your letter of April 21, 1977, but it was misdirected and I received it just today. I feel that it would be delightful to meet with the other eleven lunar astronauts as you have suggested. I am sure that it will be an engaging social experience and perhaps productive toward some goal of mutual interest. I feel that it should be a meeting which is not publicized to any degree so that we may indeed meet without the benefit of the press. I expect that your suggestion that wives should not be included is a good one. I can provide my own air transportation to the resort which you suggest and could bring two or three others should that be helpful. Given a two or three month notice, I could meet any date which would be amendable to the rest. My warmest regards and best wishes for a full recovery.” In fine condition, with a couple staple holes to top left. Shepard may be making reference to a reunion of Apollo astronauts at the Johnson Space Center on August 22, 1978, attended by Shepard, Armstrong, Aldrin, Collins, Cernan, and others. Correspondence between astronauts is not readily available.
