I got to meet Lovell when he was in Detroit on the book tour. When I was a kid I kept close track of all the Apollo missions, so this was a chance to meet a hero (and I don t use that term lightly.) He was a very nice, soft-spoken man who seemed perfectly willing to shake hands and sign autographs for as long as people wanted. The very picture of your kindly grandfather - but to me, he also had that aura of total cool, of the guy who had looked Death in the face and said, Nope, not today.
