It'll Take a Serious Dig Through the C-Drive, but I am confident that I have decent photos of the actual stopwatch that Charlie Duke used . . . International Watch magazine wanted me to write an article on the stopwatch / timing / etc. . . . that was around four years ago, shortly after we discovered the John Glenn stopwatch.

NASA archives are awesome; you can find just about everything relating to these missions. The archivist in charge of the watches and some other equipment was very freindly . . . she had great stories about the "watch guys" calling her all the time about the Speedmasters . . . she said that I was the first to really show much interest in this old Heuer stopwatch . . . funny how that works!!
