Souvenir typescript, signed “D. K. Slayton,” one page, 8.5 x 11, an excerpt from We Seven. In part: “It was not until I was well into high school that it ever occurred to me that I might not follow in my father’s footsteps and be a farmer myself…In 1947 I was back home again and out of the Air Force. I entered the University of Minnesota, and by doubling up in my classes I took the full four-year course and graduated in two years with a degree in aeronautical engineering…I had no trouble making up my mind about Project Mercury. It hit me just right. Actually, I had the best job in the Air Force when Mercury came along. After Marge and I came back from Germany, I was sent to Edwards Air Force base in California to become a test pilot.” In fine condition, with a few scattered edge creases.
