Cudd, flew with the Special Air Missions Sqdn. at Andrew’s Air Force Base, Maryland. On one of his trips, Astronaut, Neil Armstrong, was a space available passenger on an overseas flight, and I sent this encyclopedia along, hoping there would be a a discrete moment to get Mr. Armstrong’s signature. They returned to Andrews AFB on March 19, 1971. I went out to meet the plane, to pick up my husband, and was privileged to meet both Mr. and Mrs. Armstrong.” In fine condition.
