But others who have looked at the photo share his reaction: "It's a familiar picture. I've seen it somewhere else," he said.

Maybe it's a poster ordered at a photo lab as a gift for the pictured couple. Another possibility is that it's an advertise- i 1 a. i in'ti ilLT MILTSALAMON ment for the good life, perhaps in a retirement community. Anyone know? QUESTION from Palm Bay snowbirds Robert and Barbara Ford: "Can you tell us why there is only one YMCA in Brevard County, and that one at the top of the county in Titusville? "With a combined population exceed: ing 130,000, the abutting cities of Melbourne and Palm Bay would seem to be able to support and host such a worthwhile community asset." Bob said they're avid swimmers. Their other home is in Birmingham, Mass.

It has a YMCA. FLEMINGTON (NJ.) High School reunion is Feb. 20 in Venice, reports Walt Robinson of Melbourne. "Grads from 1926 through 1956 will be in attendance," he says. Call him at 259-6049.

27, 1967, Florida Tech commemorated its tie with Gus Grissom by renaming a building for him. South Hall, a dormitory, became "Grissom Hall," according to Gordon Patterson, the university's humanities professor and historian. Not likely that Grissom was addressed seriously as "doctor." Aside from any personal feelings he might have had about that, "I recall that, at the time, NASA didn't like its people to use a doctorate title if it was an honorary one," says Jim Stoms of Indian Harbour Beach. A onetime Cape engineer, Jim retired from Florida Tech as dean of its school of management and humanities. We couldn't reach his good friend and ex-boss Jerry Keuper at his Melbourne Beach "Dr.

Gus Grissom" is how the late astronaut could have been addressed, 4y2 years before he died in the Apollo 1 fire being memorialized this week. "In June 1962, Gus Grissom was awarded the first honorary doctorate granted by Florida Tech," writes Karen Rhine, communications specialist for the university founded in 1958 as Brevard Engineering College and later renamed Florida Institute of Technology. The award was also a national "first." Karen quoted the school's founding president, Dr. Jerome Keuper, as saying the U.S. government "gave Brevard Engineering College the privilege and distinction of being the first college in the United States to confer an honorary degree upon an astronaut." Other universities followed suit, she wrote.

Grissom was named a doctor of space science at the school's second commencement. "The ceremonies took place home, but Jim said: "He was pretty excited to offer the doctorate to Grissom." FAMILIAR PAIR? You're looking at only a small segment of a 20- by 30-inch color photo poster brought to us by Bill Osborne of Palm Bay. The couple pictured here happen to be on bicycles. "I found it on Dorchester Road in Palm Bay, laying in the middle of the road in the rain," he said. "I figured someone was moving and it blew off a truck.

So I put it up against my mailbox, tied to the post, for two or three days." No response. And that was more FRESH FISH A The BEST dm rHKEE PASTA HALF nni irvin DSUFS I' I fc' 1 1.
