In the midst of a project to scan my dad's slides, I came across pictures from
my parents summer 1965 trip to Washington. They took three photos of items that
would later go in the National Air and Space Museum, but at the time were in
the National Museum of American History (I think).

A rocket of some sort, sitting on the Mall. I don't know enough to even guess
at what this one is.
I have a couple of old postcards (from EBAY) showing the Smithsoning
"Misile Row" circa 1958-65. I believe that Atlas (37D) was moved to
Kennedy Space Center in 1965. It is now in the Rocket Garden with a
Mercury capsule on top of it.
