Letter to Ronald Repplinger, in part: "This is to offer my congratulations and appreciation to you for your contributions to the Apollo Program, and especially for your outstanding supervision of the Quality Assurance Program at Eagle-Picher. Certainly no one is more sensitive to requirements for quality workmanship on the Apollo manned lunar program than we who are responsible for flight testing the vehicles…In recognition of your contribution to Apollo, we would like you to have and to wear the astronauts' personal award for professional excellence, the 'Silver Snoopy.'" Includes the sterling 'Silver Snoopy' pin, which has the lowercase "r" Robbins hallmark and United Features Syndicate copyright text on the reverse. In very good condition, with light toning over much of the letter, and a vertical crease to the far right edge.
