Dear Mr. Kelsey

I have collected autographs for over 20 years. When I was in college I started writing to celebrities and asking them what they would tell a class of elementary school students. Over the years I have gotten over 200 letter and signed pictures to my students. I think that by these very busy people taking the time to share their thoughts with students, it shows the power of education. I hope you enjoy my collection

James W. Christy – Discoverer of the Moon of Pluto


Keeping with the space theme I wanted to put a letter on from the man that found the moon of Pluto. I wrote to him before Pluto lost its planetary status. He shared some insight on what it was like to discover the moon and gave some great thoughts to the students. An interesting side note, Mr. Christy also sent me his email address and asked a question about the address I had used to write to him. I tried my best to answer his question and we actually exchanged a few emails. He is truly a great gentleman.
