10 x 8 B/W Glossy NASA Photograph

1961

Al seen during a MR-3 pre-flight meeting at MSC. The Mercury Communications Network map is seen behind Al. From the shape of the gentleman's head that Al is talking to, its my guess is that this is Chris Kraft, Assistant Chief Flight Operations Division NASA Manned Spacecraft Centre. Furthermore, Al has put on his best suit for the meeting, I would say that it was held at MSC in Houston which further supports my C. Kraft theory. Dress codes at the Cape were much more informal.
