A Day at the Zoo, or, astronauts during jungle survival training in Panama, 1963. I love how serious and focused everyone in the second photo looks, except for Pete who is on the ground petting the peccary. Classic Pete.

Spending this Sunday evening thinking abt how Gus and Deke were best friends, wore matching shirts, built fences and played with bunny rabbits together, flew cross country for fun and played handball and carried bears seven miles through the woods. Deke needed Gus’ help learning to swim, Gus wanted Deke’s help when he almost drowned after Liberty Bell 7, Deke titled his memoir after a Gus-attributed quote in The Right Stuff and also used the same style as Gus’ book title (Gemini! and Deke!). Thinking about these absolute buddies.

White: Oh hey, lady, it’s me, Ed. I think you’re doing a wonderful job. (Does puppy eyes)
Woman #1: Oh, thank you, Lieutenant Colonel White! Where’s your little southern friend, by the way? He’s cuuuuuuuuuuuuuute.
White: Um, excuse me?
Young: (Peeps around corner) Heh heh heh!
White: WHAT IS THIS???? I HATE YOU, JOHN
