• 498 Manzanita Ct. • Ventura, CA 93001 April 30, 2001 Hi Dan Jon (Cypher) and I look forward to seeing you on Friday at 3:30pm in your office. Jon, you probably recall, is an actor who starred on "Hillstreet Blues" and "Major Dan," among many other TV shows, Broadway (wish you could hear him sing ''The Impossible Dream" which he sang on Broadway in La Mancha), and movies. He's aJso a scholar (and sings opera in four languages), and speaks eloquently about space. We've been married for fifteen years. Since I closed down the Institute for Security and Cooperation in Outer Space a few years ago, which I founded in '83, we've both been searching for our role in promoting the space program. As you know, I was spokesperson for von Braun during the last years of his life. He had me commit to finding the path to open the doors to space .. . with his full and unlimited vision. I think I've found a way to do it. We're bringing you a package that will give you the idea. (Don't worry, it won't cost you or NASA a dime.) And we'll only take as much time as you want ... even just a few short minutes as I know how busy you are. But it's going to be worth this trip to hand this to you in person. Also, we'd love to take you (and yours) to lunch or dinner during the week we'll be in DC. Possible? See you Friday. My best, ~~ Carol Rosin 805-641-1999 Cell 805-340-5121 Rosin@west.net PS. The photo was taken at the US Space Foundation where we were keynote speakers.
