Two items: an original Western Union telegram addressed to longtime space program journalist Mary Bubb, one page, September 15, 1960, in part: “FYI: Several NASA Project Mercury astronaut trainees will be at Cape Canaveral Friday, Sept 16, and available to news media 10 AM for news conference and tour of new Project Mercury Control Central Building”; also includes an original vintage glossy 10 x 8 red-numbered NASA photo of the Mercury 7, bearing “A Kodak Paper” watermarks on the reverse. In overall very good to fine condition, with paper loss to one corner of the telegram. From the collection of aerospace memorabilia specialist Ken Havekotte.
