Apollo 10 Splashdown envelope
Found this during an attic cleanout, mailed from the U.S.S. Chilton on May 26, 1969, the day of the Apollo 10 splashdown. The Chilton was not the primary recovery ship, but was apparently one of the ships assigned to recovery duty.
inside the envelope was a sheet of paper with only a return address sticker...from my grandmother's neighbor George Hancock, with whom I had become friends several years prior
