He did have some cool stories of that time. He also worked on the first lasers and holograms. I have an old 8mm movie given to him by NASA with details about the Apollo Project and a lot of animation of the proposed space ships (they looked nothing like the actual ones

) One day I will get it put on a DVD.

Unfortunately he died in 1993.
