For the first time in over six years, Gemini and Apollo astronaut James Lovell lent his autograph to a special mail-in signing hosted by the Astronaut Scholarship Foundation (ASF). Fans sent in more than 250 items to be signed by the legendary astronaut during a private autograph session on May 11, 2011. After conquering the long line of personal memorabilia, Lovell donated a portion of the proceeds to the ASF in support of its scholarship program.
