Description

Armstrong commends a Boy Scout—"Congratulations and best wishes from a fellow Eagle"

TLS, one page, 8 x 10.5, NASA letterhead, stamp-dated May 12, 1971. Letter to Thomas Reske of Boy Scout Troop 37, in full: "It has come to my attention that you have attained the rank of Eagle Scout. You have reached a significant milestone in Scouting and your Eagle Court of Honor will rightly be an outstanding occasion for you and your sponsor. I know you will find, as I have, that this accomplishment will be one of your most gratifying experiences. Congratulations and best wishes from a fellow Eagle." In very good to fine condition, with horizontal creasing across the center. An 11-year-old Neil Armstrong was part of the inaugural group of Boy Scouts in Upper Sandusky, Ohio in 1941. After three years in Troop 25, his family moved to Wapakoneta and he joined Troop 14, earning status as an Eagle Scout in 1947.
