This wonderful seldom seen image of Dee with Scott Carpenter & Wally Schirra on Coco Beach is appropriately inscribed by Dee who adds, "The early days...Coco Beach, 1961...Dee O'Hara Mercury Nurse". 

 

This has quickly become one of my favorite images of Dee taken on what appears to be a very happy day.  Measures 8" x 10" and signed in bold blue sharpie.
