The "space buffs" of this country owe a profound and sincere debt of gratitude for the life work of Mr. Kenneth Kleinknecht.
At the dedication of the Neil Armstrong Hall of Engingeering at Purdue University this past October 27, we saw a display case of what we call "contractor models" of various spacecraft....and in the center of that case is an engraved card dedicating the exhibit to Gus Grissom, a Purdue alum-astronaut....from nobody else but Mr. Kenneth Kleinknecht.
Thank...
