In 1971, astronaut Alan Shepard returned from the moon and after being released from quarantine, immediately went to get a haircut. He gave his barber, Carlos Villagomez, an autographed golf ball. During his Apollo 14 moonwalk just days earlier, Shepard had conducted a world-famous demonstration of gravity by hitting a golf ball on the moon. Was the golf ball he gave to Mr. Villagomez on the moon? What prompted him to give the unique gift to his barber? Learn the inside story from Barbara Radnofsky and Ed Supkis, whose parents worked in the Crew Systems Division at NASA during the Apollo missions. The event begins 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, January 14 at Central Library. See the book trailer:
