Original commemorative portfolio entitled Gemini 11: You Were There, 8 x 10.5, September 15, 1966, signed on the front cover in black felt tip, “Richard Gordon, A ship that was there when we needed it!” A portfolio distributed to members of the USS Guam recovery team, featuring various images of the recovery. The first page is a printed dedication which reads, in part: “As a member of the Gemini Eleven recovery team, you helped make this possible. You took part in mankind’s greatest adventure: the conquest of space. This modest portfolio of that event is, therefore, dedicated to you with gratitude for the vital part you played, large or small.” In fine condition, with a light creasing to the upper right border of the front cover, some mild scattered soiling, and light rust spots to the metal binding inside. Accompanied by a glossy 8 x 10 photo of Richard Gordon and Charles Conrad after the recovery with inherent printed signatures. Pre-certified Steve Zarelli and RR Auction COA.
