In this particular newspaper you will also find great sports news. How about Jim Gentile, first baseman for the Houston Astros? Or Parnelli Jones, Rodger Ward, Jimmy Clark, A.J Foyt of Indianapolis 500 mile race? How about the famous Boyer Brothers of the Baseball Major Leagues?
Other great stories such as the Gemini 9 Flight? It would be a great collector for the Space enthusiastic. Read about the great Lt.-Col. Thomas P. Strafford and Lt.-Cmdr. Eugene A. Cernan.
