Nice, would be cool to see a pic of it.
My dads best friend was NASA crew chief for the life support systems covering Mercury, Gemini and Apollo. Everything that went into the capsules needed Matts approval. I was in Houston in Dec of 1964 and was given a tour of the MSC. I met Alan Shephard and was taken to see Matts office where he presented John Glenns flight suit to me. NASA had already retired Glenn at that point because he was too valuable to them to risk a catastrophe. I have all sorts of NASA memorabilia including pictures of the astronauts individually signed by them. I have to figure out how to get the pictures of the suit from my phone onto this forum. Dont laugh
