Between these mementos, Alan Bean wrote, To Jim - Thanks for making the flight possible - Intrepid was magnificent. Below the patch are signatures of Charlie Conrad, Dick Gordon and Alan Bean. An explanatory paper label along the mount's lower margin reads "SAILED WITH THE YANKEE CLIPPER AND INTREPID TO THE OCEAN OF STORMS / NOVEMBER 1969."
