GOLDBERG/WITH BEST WISHES/Buzz Aldrin". Color, 7¾x10 overall, 7¼x9¼ image,
one surface. Captioned: "Edwin E. Aldrin, Jr.". With short bio and NASA
logo printed on verso. Aldrin, born Eugene Aldrin, Jr. in Montclair, New
Jersey in 1930, was a 1951 West Point graduate who flew 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 had piloted the Lunar Excursion Module Eagle and became
the second man to walk on the Moon (July 20, 1969). Lightly toned, otherwise
in fine condition.
