Getting duct tape ready for OM World Finals

Here is roll #58 with the collection in the back ground. My wife's friend Deania Halverson from Hodan goes to her church in Dodgeville, WI. We were talking at a dinner and she said they had a foreign exchange student from Finland for the school year. One thing lead another and he, Mikael Kinsivnea was able to get his parents to send a roll from Espoo, Finland!

I contacted Jim Lovell from the Apollo 13 mission and told him about the duct tape collection and the roll I had signed by Ed Smylie who came up with the idea to help save his life with duct tape. He said he would sign his book. I sent a copy of his book Lost Moon to him in Loves Park, IL.  (Note: The duct tape turtle was on the research ship pictured in a previous post)

Jim Lovell signed his book on page 250 where he writes about the work of Ed Smylie and his problem solving duct tape.

And lastly, I have made over 100 micro rolls of duct tape to take to the OM World Finals in East Lansing, Michigan to trade. Each has the blog website address on it to help get the work out and traffic up on the blog.
