How many of you ever dreamt of going up in a space shuttle with the astraunots?

I am with you Jazon. I just was curious if anyone was interested in it.

@Hannihar - Ms Hanni - No, I was not a medical doctor. My job was as the supervising tech of the nuclear medical laboratory of the Clinical Sciences Division of the USAF School of Aerospace Medicine. My immediate bosses were MDs, one of whom was then President Lyndon Johnson's good buddy and the other boss was a graduate of the same nuclear medical school that I went through - which is how we came together to do the astronaut stuff. My big boss, being a friend of LBJ was quite fortunate in that whenever I wanted something for the laboratory all I had to do was ask for it. Kinda nice. I do not recall "Remon." but if he came through our program prior to mid-1965, then I worked on him. If after that, I was retired from the Air Force. I do remember all of the people on whom I worked, but I remember only the names of the several men and women with whom I had close dealings and friendships. No one in the Air Force had a better, more productive, and enjoyable assignment as did I during those years, from nuclear medical school beginning in 1960 until I left my laboratory in 1965. Finished college and some grad school, got a patent on some stuff and my boss and I developed lots of interesting medical tests and the like, plus my bride and I had our first child into school during those several years. -Gus-

@Hannihar - Ms Hanna - I dealt with only one actual astronaut during their time as an astronaut. He was Astronaut (Marine) Colonel Walter Cunningham. In addition to his being a part of the moon landing and preparation flights, he also spent lots of duty time on the old "space laboratory" in its days of orbital flight. The rest of those we examined were all candidates and not yet astronautsJohn Glen was among the first seven astronauts, all of whom had their medical testing done at a place named the "Love Clinic." - so we missed working on those astronauts. -Gus-

@Ceerios Gus, it sounds like you have had a long and fulfilling life. I believe he came after 1965. What was it like meeting the Astronauts? Did you meet John Glen? What was he like?

That is fine John and I have not either.
