Twelve items, consisting of signed photos, ALSs, and TLSs, from a total of eight different astronauts. All have written to a sick young girl recovering from surgery, at the behest of her uncle, as she has aspirations of becoming an astronaut. Participating astronauts are Walt Cunningham (photo), Eugene Trinh (photo), Byron Lichtenberg (photo and letter), Joe Kerwin (photo and letter), Dianne K. Prinz (photo and letter), John S. Bull (photo and letter), Pete Knight (letter), and Gary Payton (letter). Almost all of the photos are inscribed to Kathy. Payton writes, in part: “Like everything in life though, the good things are accompanied by some bad things. One of the guys I flew with, El Onizuka, was on board the Challenger. Since that awful day, I have attended many memorial ceremonies, seen many missing-man formations, heard many sad speeches, and shed many tears. But I have learned a considerable amount about the American people since then. I’ve learned that Americans have a trait called resiliency.” Further excerpts and images of all the letters are available on line at rrauction.com. In fine overall condition. Pre-certified Scott Cornish and RRAuction COA.
