A Japaness statue of an old man cleaning a fish, signed by John Pic, 1962, Tachikawa, Japan. John Pic, an Air Force Staff Sergeant at the time, is Lee Harvey Ozwalds half brother. It was given to my mother as a Christmas present by Marge and John who where are neighbors while living in Japan.

Many years ago when I was a boy, my Grandfather gave me a silver dollar. He said "as long as you keep that, you will never be broke". I still have it.

A letter from J. Edgar Hoover, hand delivered by FBI agents
 

to my home in response to a letter I had sent to him indicating I felt he was
blackmailing Robert F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King. Have been waiting for a higher offer than $1,500 ten years ago! Hoover included a xeroxed copy of an article from the Washington Post in which the then author appeared to
'clear' the bureau and Hoover of wrong doing. After waiting 2 hours in front of my home for me to return from my teaching position, my husband virtually pulled me into the house saying, "I told you not to write him, those guys are FBI and when I told them you were teaching they said they would wait!" My late husband was actually shaking with fear! He had no idea what they wanted or why they were there and I think he had visions of my being dragged off to a hidden location forever!

OH my grandfather did that also and yes I still have mine. It is even more special because it was made in the year he was born.

Two large framed posters of Apollo astronauts, with shots of the Lunar Module in orbit and on the moon, surrounded by hundreds of signatures of Grumman employees, including mine.

Spunik
 

In around 1960's my mother flew to Russia on her own in order to tour the country. As a gift she brought back to me on a stand (about 6-8 inches tall)
the Russian desk stand of the Russian Sputnik. The Russians were first to put an orbiting satellite in space in October 1957. If it is wound up it plays the Russian national anthem. The base is in gold plate with the earth on a half moon base and the model of the sputnik raised on a sort of arm. Punched on the base is "4 X-1957-CCCP". :wave:
