After Ulli completed the preliminary version of Jimmy the Brake in late June, we sent a copy to Dave Scott, who had a number of suggestions based on his memories of the scene. This new sketch is the result. Ulli writes, "This sketch is dedicated to my brother Juergen. On Aug 28, when the main part of the sketch was finished, he celebrated his 52nd birthday; and, due to the work on this sketch, I almost missed his party!" From the Apollo 15 Lunar Surface Journal: 145:12:42 Irwin: Oh, you really...Let me hold that Rover and you come up and look at this, because this rock has got green in it, a light green... 145:12:48 Scott: Okay... 145:12:49 Irwin: ...color. Come on. 145:12:50 Scott: Okay; I'll just stand here until you're through... 145:12:51 Irwin: Yeah. 145:12:52 Scott: ...and then I'll go up and take a look at it. 145:12:58 Irwin: The first green rock I've seen. Light green. 145:13:01 Allen: Roger. We're copying all of it. 145:13:04 Irwin: Okay. Where do you want me to hold it? 145:13:07 Scott: Well, just...Come down and stand on your side. 145:13:08 Irwin: On my side? 145:13:09 Scott: Yeah. 145:13:10 Irwin: Okay. [Scott, from a 1996 letter - "Jim's side is downslope, and he can keep it from sliding."]145:13:11 Scott: You stand there and take a break. 145:13:12 Irwin: I'm taking one. 145:13:13 Scott: Okay. (Long Pause while Jim gets positioned) 145:13:26 Irwin: Okay. 145:13:28 Scott: Okay. Are you firmly situated there? 145:13:29 Irwin: Yeah. 145:13:32 Scott: Okay.
