Description

Al Worden's color 25 x 19.5 print of a Ron Woods painting entitled 'Hanging Around After a Walk on the Moon,' which shows a group of nine Apollo space suits hanging on a rack, signed in black ink by Woods, who adds along the bottom border: "I hope someday you stand on the moon, look through a quarter million miles of space & say to yourself 'What a beautiful Earth out tonight.'" In fine condition, with a crease to lower left corner.

During the Apollo program, Ron Woods worked for ILC as a suit technician performing suit maintenance, interface testing with the Command Module, Lunar Module, and Lunar Rover vehicles, and insertion of astronauts in Command and Lunar modules for training. He suited crew members for Apollo 8, 11, 15, all Skylab missions, and Apollo-Soyuz. He also supported the first two Space Shuttle missions as a suit technician at KSC and three additional missions at primary and back-up landing sites.

From the collection of Apollo 15 CMP Al Worden, and accompanied by a letter of provenance from his daughter Alison (Worden) Penczak.
