It’s good to be a reporter. While writing about the U.S. space program I’ve had the chance to speak to three astronauts: Pam Melroy, Kent Rominger and Alan Bean. I’m sure I’d have talked to many more if it was my full-time gig, but alas, I am still officially a copy editor.

Though I’ve interviewed three astronauts, I’ve never actually met one, at least, not until Saturday, Nov. 14. That day, despite forecasts of heavy rain, I hopped in my Honda Civic for a 2½-hour drive to a little town just northwest of New Haven, Conn., called Seymour. It was in the cozy confines of the Greenwich Workshop Gallery on Main Street that I shook the hand of Apollo 12 lunar module pilot Al Bean.

I avoided the temptation to muscle my way to the front of the line to meet one of my childhood heroes. I had put away my reporters notepad and let my geek flag fly. For one day, at least, I would be a NASA fanboy, plain and simple.

During the drizzly couple of hours I spent standing in a line along Main Street, I met a number of fascinating people, including a 90-year-old woman who had been following NASA since she was my age. I also met a jovial couple from down the road who were surprised to hear how far I had come for the event.

I did have an in with Bean. I had talked to him in July. Actually, he had called me on my cell phone one Sunday night at the paper. I was working on a story (which ballooned into a pair of stories) for the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 11 lunar landing about local companies that contributed to the Apollo Program. I had sent out about six or eight e-mails to former astronauts. A couple politely declined – “Sorry, too busy.” Most did not reply at all.

When Al Bean called me back, I almost fell out of my chair. He could tell I was a little flustered, so he suggested I call him back later in the evening. I gathered my things, found a quiet office and gave him a call.

He was one of the nicest guys I have ever interviewed … Heck, he WAS the nicest.

In the e-mail, I had asked for 15 minutes of his time. We talked for half an hour. And was ready to talk about each subject I had mentioned: the computer, food and communications carrier or “Snoopy cap.” Each recollection was interesting an punctuated with amusing anecdotes and nothing seemed rushed or forced.

It felt like I bad known him for years.

So, I wrote the articles and Bean’s story about Spaghetti (I won’t spoil it here) was the highlight of the second installment. I sent the articles to the New England Newspaper and Press Association for an award. I haven’t heard back yet, but I am hopeful.

Time passes …

I found out last week that Al Bean was going to be in Connecticut. I had missed him during a previous appearance in the state, and another one in Vermont. When I realized Saturday would be the 40th anniversary of the launch of his moon flight, I knew I had to go.

Mother Nature was doing its best to duplicate the weather during the Kennedy Space Center liftoff all those years ago, minus the lightning.

I was going to ask him to sign a copy of one of the articles, but wimped out. Instead, I bought a copy of his new book, “Painting Apollo: First Artist on Another World” and a poster called “America’s Team” featuring an astronaut celebrating in front of an American flag.

As I approached, Bean was handed a slip of paper, “To Paul.” Then he turned to me and asked, “Is that it?” while offering his hand.

I saw my opening.

I carefully gripped his hand, knowing the multitude of items he had signed so far, and said, “Capt. Bean. My name is Paul Ring, I don’t know if you remember me, but I spoke with you back in July for an article I wrote. Actually, you called me.”

His eyes lit up as he said he remembered me and asked how the article went - another opening. This one was big enough for a Mack truck.

“I have a copy of the articles here, if you’re interested?” I said.

“Why sure,” he said in his characteristic Texas drawl. Then he apologized, “I won’t be able to read them here.”

I assured him I understood and told him he could keep them.

As he began signing, he asked me how I was finding journalism as a career. I could feel the gears stripping in my brain. “It’s a tough …” I stuttered, “… umm …”

Think Paul, think. Slow down, and think.

“It’s a tough job,” I croaked, (It was the only word I could find) “especially in this economy.”

“I can imagine,” he said, offering a warm smile. He clearly saw how nervous I was. Of course, I suspect he’d seen the same response umpteen times today alone.

Then a woman I met in line asked if I wanted her to take my photo with him. “Hell yeah!” I didn’t say that, but surely my face communicated that to her.

I handed her my camera and squeezed behind the table. As I put my hand on his chair, he stood up (he didn’t stand up for everyone) and placed his hand on my shoulder. Smikle, snap, flash, it was over.

I withdrew and he finished signing my book. “To Paul,” he wrote, “Fellow Artist,” punctuating it with a star.

As he began signing the poster, he asked, “Did you say you were coming down?” “No,” I replied, “I didn’t know you’d be here until last week.”

“Well thanks for coming,” again, more of that delicious drawl. “Thank you, sir,” I said. Wow, I hardly ever call anyone “sir” anymore.

On the poster, he wrote “To Paul Ring, Hold on to your dreams.” Down went the pen, and he brought up his hand again. “Well it’s good to see you, Paul,” he said.

“It’s good to finally meet you in person,” I replied as I grabbed his hand, a little firmer this time. “Thanks a lot.”

“My pleasure,” he said, before turning to the next man in line.

I walked away and turned back, soaking in the moment. Taking a breath, I stepped out into a cloudy, but surprisingly pleasant night.
