The STS 13 Crew poses for an informal crew portrait. From left to right is Commander Bob Crippen, Mission Specialist George Nelson, Pilot Dick Scobee, Mission Specialist James Van Hoften and Terry Hart.
I do enjoy going through all my postcards finding something to share on my blog. I am still sewing, crafting etc and need to share a few projects with you soon. I am shopping for vintage miniature frames so I can frame some of my small photos.

You are really showing some awesome photos of Post cards Judy..I wish there was a way I could show you all of mine....Hard to show them in pictures and look much better when you can hold them in your hand to look at.
Love the astronauts...Boy how time flys huh?
STS-13 was a Space Shuttle Challenger mission in 1984 (later referred to as STS-41-C). Dick Scobee, one of those pictured, was aboard Challenger when it disintegrated in 1986.
