Collection Scope and Content Note
The John Wilkey, Jr., collection is made up of military documents, correspondence, ephemera, and photographs related to John W. Wilkey, Jr., who served in the United States Army Air Forces during World War II.
Mary Wilkey and John Wilkey, Sr., wrote a letter to their son, John Wilkey, Jr., on February 5 and 6, 1946. His mother enclosed copies of letters by Representative Charles Wolverton and Senator Albert Wahl, who responded to her request that they support legislation to discharge fathers currently serving in the military. Wilkey’s father expressed his pressing need for his son’s help with their wheat farm, and urged him to seek a discharge. The collection also holds Wilkey’s official request for a discharge (April 26, 1946) and a special order issued in response by the 40th Bomb Wing headquarters (May 10, 1946), as well as a refund check for 2 cents (January 1945); an undated, printed application for a sugar ration book (not filled out); and an undated, printed advertisement for a commemorative military book. Five snapshot photographs depict John’s wife Ruby and their young daughter (April 1946).
The collection contains 3 additional documents: a typed “station notice” containing the order of events for an “Invasion Day rally” (May 19, 1944), a memorandum about “Regulations Concerning Compressed Air” from the torpedo shop at the United States Naval Mine Depot in Yorktown, Virginia (August 26, 1944), and a facsimile of an advertisement for an upcoming publication about the depot (February 1945).

When I lived at 1405 Prince Street Alexandria VA and on Friday 13th 1994ish I got stuck in the window. Miss Bunting (from Newport, Road Island, USA) and Miss Harnet (from St. George, Bermuda) helped me out. I want to reflect upon what I learned being stuck for over an hour until Miss Bunting got home from working at the Smithsonian and helped me out window on Friday 13th 1994-ish.
If you would like to learn more about this experience or sage word from Miss Bunting about her father’s books (and one story about asking for help during a fire at 1405 Prince Street) contact JD’s admin google “JD Morris Forbes” anytime (i.e. let us see if you can find me via Linkedin via the Google clue) .

Today I thank her for reminding me to be Gentleman, but remember today is world of #signs that means today you must be #woke = thank you mom to teaching me to respect everything in the world and to respect every #sign unless it is wrong.
“Thank you mom and all the woman of the world for teaching me to honor others that deserve to be honored and avoid those that are not honorable”

My dad worked at NASA in Hampton, VA. My mom lead #womanrights issues through her garden club as a say at home mom like #ElizabethWarren (now #senatorwarren ). Although my mom did not become a US Senator, she did visit capital hill meeting with Congressman and Senator to advance her beliefs in #womansrights vs. write a book.
>> She also supported me in sports and wind surfing.
>> She let me use her Trump Sports Car to go to school vs riding the bus per my Dad’s wishes.
>> She account for more than fifty percent of #everthinggood ( i.e. #sugerandspiceandeverythingnice )

Little Joe was a solid-fueled booster rocket used by NASA for eight launches from 1959-1960 from Wallops Island, Virginia to test the launch escape system and heat shield for Project Mercury capsules, as well as the name given to the test program using the booster. The first rocket designed solely for crewed spacecraft qualifications, Little Joe was also one of the pioneer operational launch vehicles using the rocket cluster principle.
FROM NASA DOCUMENTS
On September 20, 1951, a monkey named Yorick and 11 mice were recovered after an Aerobee missile flight of 236,000 feet at Holloman Air Force Base, New Mexico. Yorick got a fair amount of press as the first monkey to live through a space flight.
On May 22, 1952, two Philippine monkeys, Patricia and Mike, were enclosed in an Aerobee nose section at Holloman Air Force Base. Patricia was placed in a seated position and Mike in a prone position to determine differences in the effects of rapid acceleration. Fired 36 miles up at a speed of 2000 mph, these two monkeys were the first primates to reach such a high altitude. Also on this flight were two white mice, Mildred and Albert. They were inside a slowly rotating drum where they could “float” during the period of weightlessness. The section containing the animals was recovered safely from the upper atmosphere by parachute. Patricia died of natural causes about two years later and Mike died in 1967, both at the National Zoological Park in Washington, DC.
