Ulli dedicates this sketch to Alan Bean
on the occasion of his 75th birthday, 15 March 2007.

Ulli writes: "The sketch is intended as reminder for Alan to keep in good shape and good spirits, because there are still many Apollo motifs that have to be painted. The sketch is also motivated by the fact that Alan was a good athelete in his younger days."

Editor's Note: If only it had been possible to bend the AL7 suit hips like that. However, without the waist convolute added for the Rover missions, that part of the suit was pretty rigid.
