I have a lot of my dad's paperwork but I'm not sure I want to part with it permanently. My dad was Thomas H. Kemp and he did fly on both Russian shuttle missions. I have many different items such as pins and his short snorter. His jacket and uniforms were "lost in storage" long ago. I do have pictures, particularly of the missions to Russia. I do not know what happened to his crew. He never got in touch with them as far as I know. I do know his plane he said was named "That's All Brother" and it had a picture of a bear on it. I am not sure of the significance of the name or the bear. I do know he received a lot of medals. All of those were also lost in storage. I would be interested in finding out what they were and maybe even getting duplicates of them. I am interested in what your group does and I am very interested in filling in all the gaps I can with you on my dad's crew and happenings as I know them.
