I am fortunate enough to have given golf lessons to, and played numerous events, with the late Commander Alan Shepard (first American in space and Cmdr of Apollo 14). Alan Shepard arranged, at one time or another, for me to meet nearly every astronaut involved with the Gemini and Apollo programs.

In 1972 Charles Moss Duke Jr. became THE 10TH OF 12 ONLY HUMAN BEINGS TO SET FOOT ON TO THE MOON.

Charlie has been a fighter pilot, test pilot and astronaut; he was part of the support team for several Apollo missions including Apollo 11 where he uttered the immortal words, "Roger, Twank...Tranquility, we copy you on the ground. You got a bunch of guys about to turn blue here. We're breathing again. Thanks a lot!"

Charlie was LMP for Apollo XVI and he and John Young landed in the Descartes Highlands and conducted three EVAs.

HERE IS AN OFFICIAL, NASA PHOTO OF CHARLIE THAT HE HAS PERSONALLY SIGNED & MISSION-INSCRIBED.

The photo is 8-inches by 10-inches.

The photo is in pristine condition.

Charlie signed the photo and inscribed "Apollo 16" using black sharpie.

Charlie's signature and inscription are permanent.

Charlie's signature and inscription are crystal clear, totally legible and completely free from any stains, smears, smudges or bleeding.

An historic treasure and a wonderful signature from one of the truly remarkable men who have earned an extraordinary place in the history of human exploration.

As always - no nonsense - I GUARANTEE THE AUTHENTICITY OF THIS AND EVERY SIGNATURE IN MY COLLECTION FOR LIFE or your money back and I put that in writing too!
