If one picture screams Ed White it’s this one. Somewhere in the 1960′s.
Spending this Sunday evening thinking abt how Gus and Deke were best friends, wore matching shirts, built fences and played with bunny rabbits together, flew cross country for fun and played handball and carried bears seven miles through the woods. Deke needed Gus’ help learning to swim, Gus wanted Deke’s help when he almost drowned after Liberty Bell 7, Deke titled his memoir after a Gus-attributed quote in The Right Stuff and also used the same style as Gus’ book title (Gemini! and Deke!). Thinking about these absolute buddies.

Everyone feels pity for Gus in those sunglasses so they listen to his stories and laugh at his jokes, 1961
