Today, I rode my bike to the Ed White Memorial hospital in St Petersburg, Florida. Established in the late 1970’s by his family members and community support, the lobby displays some information on his life in space, most notably, and logically, his Gemini 4 flight. Also on display is one of his training jumpsuits for the Apollo 1 mission. For those wondering why St Pete has this, it’s because his family relocated here after Ed left home. His brother was rather acquainted with the area though. Soon, Emily and I are going to go back here, as well as check out their former home. In a non-creepy way.

This is wonderful. Thank you for sharing these photos!

Awwwww Ed. I am so proud he is still a part of my home. :)

I used to drive by this place all the time but never went inside. How dumb is that?
