Buzz Aldrin addresses an envelope to Mrs. Dorothy Wicks.
Autograph Envelope, unsigned, 6½x3½. 13-cent Liberty Bell stamp
affixed, postmarked Los Angeles, California, 19778 February 8. Addressed by
Aldrin to: "Mrs Dorothy Wicks/Lake Lanier Mobile Home Pk Lot #33/3000
Clarksbridge Rd/Gainesville, GA 30501". Buzz Aldrin, a 1951 West Point
graduate, had flown 66 missions in Korea, winning the Distinguished Flying
Cross. He flew F-100s in Germany before persuading the Air Force to send him
to M.I.T. for a doctorate. Although he was turned down for the astronaut program
in 1962, Aldrin was later aboard one Gemini mission (Gemini 12),
and became a close friend of astronaut Ed White, one of the Apollo I
astronauts who died in a launch pad fire. Aldrin and Apollo 11 Commander
Neil Armstrong left the patch from that ill-fated mission on the surface of the
Moon. During the Apollo 11 mission, Aldrin piloted the Lunar Excursion
Module, Eagle, and became the second man to walk on the Moon (July 20,
1969). Ink smudged at the "t" in Lot. Torn open at upper edge. Fine
condition.
