Richard Green '49 donates aerospace memorabilia to the College

Richard Green '49 spent his entire career working for the National Science Foundation, NASA and several other aerospace agencies. Over the years he acquired a collection of memorabilia from the space programs that he recently donated to the College. Jim Hogan, director of library services, spoke extensively to Green: "I reassured him that donating the collection to the College would ensure that it remain intact, housed in a nice environment, and that it would be used periodically for exhibitions. It is just genuinely interesting stuff for any American having lived in the latter half of the 20th century." The collection includes a flag that was carried aboard Apollo 17, an emblem of the Apollo 12 lunar surface experiments packet, photos of the lunar surface taken in the process of mapping the entire lunar surface, and maps the astronauts used to navigate the surface of the moon. Hogan notes that while the photos are copies, "like anything else in life, copies have a way of disappearing. That is why we maintain an archival copy of these things. Years from now, many of these photos will have disappeared, and Holy Cross may be one of the few places to still have them in good condition."

Bill O'Leary submitted the following from Tom Moriarty:

If anyone had been wandering around Ellis Island in New York Harbor one day last week (i.e., Friday, Nov. 19), he would have run into three members of the Class of '62 checking the place out. The three former roommates get together in the fall of the year for lunch, usually at some out-of-the-way place in Connecticut, like Essex. However, this year, Bob Swords, Charlie Tomaselli and Tom Moriarty decided to do something educational-take a trip to Ellis Island to see the restored immigration facility in New York Harbor. So, Moriarty got on the Amtrak train in Springfield at 5:30 a.m., Swords got on the same train in Hartford at 6:10 a.m., and they arrived in New York at 8:50 a.m. at Grand Central Station, after changing to Metro North in Stamford. They picked up Tomaselli at his office at 49th and Third Avenue and were off to the ferry. The three spent about four hours on the island, touring the exhibits and looking at the names on the wall of honor in the courtyard. The weather was great-68 degrees and sunny. The building that has been restored is well-done and well-maintained. It was a very instructive trip and well worth the effort. Tom recommends it to anyone whose relatives came through there on their journey to the United States of America. The day was capped off with a drink at Placido Domingo's Restaurant on 50th Street and then a walk back to Grand Central Station, where the participants took their respective trains back home.
