Me and Buzz
In October 2007 the Pontefract Astronomical Society pulled off a coup by persuading Al Bean, fourth man to walk on the Moon, to visit them and deliver a lecture. Al was a delightful speaker and happily signed my copy of Andrew Smith's wonderful 'Moondust'. [No offers, thank you.] In March 2008 the Society topped this by persuading none other than Buzz Aldrin, number two on the Moon, to address them. I could not afford Buzz's autograph but he shook hands for free and Doreen grabbed a couple of photographs.
