A visual tribute to Jim Lovell, who passed away Thursday.
Inducted into NASA as part of the "New Nine" in Sept 1962, of which there are sadly no more. He flew Gemini VII and XII, Apollo 8, and as seen here as Commander of the ill-fated Apollo 13. 1/6

It is with great sadness we announce the passing of John ‘Paddy’ Hemingway DFC – Last of ‘The Few’. We reflect not only on his sacrifices, but the sacrifices of all those who served & fought in WWII.
Paddy, thank you for your service.

Hi @IKEAIE , some feedback.
Please get rid of your app only self service checkouts in Ballymun. No one has the app and long queues at the assisted checkouts.
The previous self service app free checkouts were much more customer friendly. Thanks.

Here he is, in his prime on Gemini IX-A:

It is with great sadness that we learned of the passing of retired Firefighter John Hunt earlier this week.
Stationed on C Watch in Tara Street Fire Station, John is described as a talented ladder driver and a trusted mentor to young Firefighters.
