Air and Space Friend

Honored by:

I, Gerard J. Doran, have extensively studied the history of manned space exploration. I have collected a tremendous wealth of books, films magazines, pictures, newspapers, and models on this subject. When I was 14, in 1971, I witnessed the Apollo XV launch from the KSC VIP viewing area as a guest of Senator Edward Kennedy. Later, in 1986, I was thrilled to meet and speak with Apollo XVs Dave Scott. I am a musician and I am currently working on a composition to honor Apollo XV, it was such a tremendous adventure! My mom and dad, Renee and Joseph, made it possible for me to see that launch. They also helped me financially to study music and buy all the space items, so I could learn so much about space history, which is the love of my life!
