On Monday, August
15th, the Logan County Genealogical and Historical Society hosted Al
Hassebrock of Kenny. Hassebrock served on the USS Arlington spy ship
that was part of the recovery efforts after the return landings of
the Apollo 8, 11 and 13.
The crew of the Arlington was the first to spot the ballooned ocean
landings, which the USS Hornet then retrieved.
At the meeting of the LCG&HS, Hassebrock shared his collection of
Apollo space rocket memorabilia and spoke about his experiences on
the Arlington.
Also, if the background in the pictures looks familiar, it's because
the meeting was held at the LCG&HS center on Chicago Street in
Lincoln. This was the first public meeting in the center since it
was smoke damaged by fire in October 2021.
