Following the Red Skelton show, the six went backstage to compliment Skelton on his ‘astronaut’ pantomime, where the Skelton family turned the tables and insisted on autographs of their guests. Pictured backstage are from left David Scott, James McDivitt, Edward White, (Who walked in space), Roger Chaffee, Art Coleman, a friend of the Skeltons, Valentina Skelton, Red Skelton, his wife, Georgia, Virgil (Gus) Grissom, and Russell Schweickart.
