In 1969, before
astronaut Alan Bean (left) traveled to the moon, he was issued
a Fort Worth police ID and badge. These items traveled with
Bean to the moon and back. In a ceremony at Noble Planetarium,
Bean gave these cherished items back to the man who had given
them to him, retired sergeant Jim Stout (center left).
Sgt. Stout then presented these items to Mayor Moncrief
(center right) and Chief Mendoza (right). The items will be on
display at the Museum of Science and History until
September when they will be moved to the Police Academy where
they will remain on public display. |
