    Untitled drawing. Page from a bound sketchbook. Depicts an element of the V.I.C. (Visitor Information Center), which looks like a large propeller or satellite. The sketch divides the page in half on the diagonal. A large amount of text at the bottom of the page reads: "When I was drawing this little item I was talking to an elderly man from Michigan about his camera. We were inside the V.I.C. looking for Apollo 16 patches. At this point in history Bob McCall with his crewcut even good looks turns the corner and walks up to me and this elderly gentleman. The gentleman see the crewcut good look and NASA Badge with the equally good looks photo of McCall on it. He takes Bob for an astronaut and I introduce him as such. The man ends up banging his head on the above item. Bob denies this introduction. He has a sense of humor like most astronauts."
