ALS, one page, 8.5 x 11, personal letterhead, April 28, 2001. Letter describing his early career. In part: “I was assigned to the Space Task Group in April 1959 with six other test pilots to train and compete for the first Project Mercury flights into space. After four previous missions was finally chosen for the MA-8 mission…I chose the name ‘Sigma Seven’ for my mission. Sigma representing the sum of engineering efforts and Seven for the seven Mercury astronauts…The views were spectacular, but the most satisfying was the sight of the parachute prior to landing.” In fine condition, with some subtle red ink marks to the left side.
