Mrs. Lindbergh was able to relate much of the spirit and perspective that I experienced about the mission. On this second anniversary of Apollo 8, we hope you share with us the feeling that this time of year holds. We remember with gratitude the success of the flight, and the prayers and help of those close to us." In fine condition, with light cover wear to the book.
