There was a shuttle astronaut who came through my register there, and he was due to give the Scout troop a talk that evening. He bailed on the kids.
As far as Chuck, his wife had passed during the time I was a cashier there, so I respected his privacy.
Godspeed, Chuck Yeager. He would come into the commissary and come through my line, in flight suit. Never bothered him for an autograph.
He would have been proud to be recognized by a "brother" NOC! Should have asked but I do know how you feel about imposing.....Those personalities can make one feel very humble!

PS. I am an Eagle Scout and what that person did was just not nice!
I know what you mean "NOC".
The images of the "Welcome Home" ceremony to combat vets and the 5 Hanoi Hilton POW's I posted was very humbling for me! I understand privacy "NOC"!!
These 5 men became larger than life in real time. Although I spoke of my time, I could not find the words to talk 1 on 1 with them until they shook my hand. Then it was easy.
Thanks "NOC"!
