Astronaut and U.S. Senator
5x7 color photo signed in black sharpie by John Glenn. I wrote to Mr. Glenn back on May 9, and received this back in the mail this morning. John Glenn was the first American in orbit, and is one of my mom's (and my own) heroes. When I was little she used to tell me about when she was little and watched his historic Project Mercury flight aboard Friendship 7. I have a PSA/DNA authenticated signed cut of Mr. Glenn's signature that I purchased more than a year ago. The copy of it that is hanging on my wall will be coming down this weekend to be replaced by a copy of this.
Chuck Yeager
Aviation Legend
I returned from Anime Boston 2013 this morning to find two photos waiting for me in the mail. The first was this one, a black and white 8x10 signed by retired general Chuck Yeager. I've always found aviation history fascinating, and Gen. Yeager is certainly one of the great aviation pioneers. If you aren't familiar with him, he was the first person to fly faster than the speed of sound. Via www.chuckyeager.com.
