A few weeks ago, Jon was honored to be given the original magazine, published in 1966, which extolled the formative stages of space exploration and its' close association with Space Center Rotary Club.

McKinnie states, "Just reinstates why I am truly honored to have serviced as President of the magically named "Space Center" Rotary Club."
