Andrew Chaikin writes: "I took these photos of Ewen Whitaker, Al Bean, and Dick Gordon on November 10, 2001. I was doing a book signing with Al and Dick at Novagraphics in Tucson, and Ewen came by to say hello. He had a Lunar Orbiter photo of the Apollo 12 site, and also a letter that he'd received from Nixon thanking him for his efforts.
