My Name is Michelle George Mary Pete

11/2/2012. I attended a reception tonight where I was able to mingle with several Apollo and space shuttle astronauts. My favorite encounter was with Jim McDivitt- commander of Apollo 9. I introduced myself and asked if I could have my picture taken with him. He replied that he refused to have his picture taken with a Michelle, but it would be a different story if my name were George or Mary or Pete. I said, "What a coincidence- my full name is Michelle George Mary Pete." He agreed to have his picture taken with me after that.
