No complaints, just a request. My mother worked for Grumman in Bethpage many years ago and she was part of the employees that signed a poster for the LM-3/APOLLO 9 3/3/69. I would like to get copies of the poster size signatures. My mother just passed away and this would be a wonderful memory of her to have. I have called and left messages to a couple of people, but no one has ever gotten back to me. I did find a copy of the picture online, but I would like the poster size. Her name was Ann Vilardi when she worked there! I am her daughter and would appreciate any help I can to find the poster. Thank You
My home number is 561-641-XXXXX
