This was sent to me by Bill
Turner he met Mr. Shepard and this is what he had to say. At the
time he autographed the certificate he said that he was sure happy we
were there to pick him up. He was very gracious while talking with him
as he took extra time to talk to me. The officials kept telling him to
hurry along and he responded, "I'll be right there after I finish
talking to one of my boys". This is a link to a webpage you
