Captain James A. Lovell, commander of the Apollo 13 mission, was in Springfield, IL, today for a book signing and to receive the Lincoln Leadership Prize.

Captain Lovell stopped in his hotel lobby following breakfast to sign an 8 x 10 of a previous meeting (2006 St. Louis) and pose for this new photograph. As he began signing, his wife made the "ebay comment," but once he saw it was a posed shot of us, he signed and personalized. The new photograph took some convincing, but after a few moments, he agreed to a quick shot.
