Were any other UK members lucky enough to attend 'An Evening With Alan Bean' in Pontefract, West Yorkshire last Thursday night?

It was a very memorable occasion to hear Captain Bean recount his experiences on Apollo 12 and Skylab, not to mention his fine artistic accomplishments.

Hearing how pete Conrad ordered Alan and fellow crewmate Dick Gordon to 'poop' before reaching lunar orbit so they weren't distracted when they arrived was a high point!

Getting my book signed and shaking the hand of the 4th man to walk on the Moon was an experience I will never forget.

A fantastic night.

Captain Bean mentioned he will be at an autograph show at Heathrow, London before flying back to Houston on Tuesday, so hopefully many more Apollo enthusiasts will get to meet this remarkable and talented man.
