ITHACA — In the four-inch-thick scrapbook Ted Entlich keeps to evoke 90

Space Administration.

That letter, as well as others in his collection are from a man who, as much 
as any individual could be, was responsible for putting men on the moon.

to the United States. They would eventually work for rocket scientist 
Wernher von Braun.
