A
We're
going
to
create
a
new
landmark
to
honor
one
of
the
most
famous
biloxi
high
school
graduates,
and
the
most
famous
person
in
our
history
april
will
mark
the
50th
anniversary
of
apollo
13,
a
mission
that
has
been
called
nasa's,
most
successful
failure
and
a
mission
that
united
the
world
in
hope,
prayer
and
problem
solving.
As
the
troubled
spacecraft
made
its
way
back
to
earth
our
own
fred
hayes,
a
biloxi
native
who
grew
up
on
back
bay,
brought
tremendous
pride
to
this
city
to
the
nation
and
to
the
entire
world
as
apollo.
A
13
lunar
module
pilot
since
adam
and
eve
fred
is
one
of
only
24
people
to
have
flown
to
the
moon
and
back.
He
has
been
a
tremendous
asset
to
biloxi
and
the
coast
inspiring
students
in
biloxi,
public
schools
and
being
the
driving
force
in
creating
the
infiniti
space
center
near
the
stennis
space
center.

We
may
never
forget
to
honor
the
fred
hayes
legacy:
the
city
of
biloxi,
commissioned
artist
and
sculptor
mary
davidson
to
design
and
sculpt
a
larger-than-life
statue
of
fred
hayes
in
his
astronaut
spacesuit
to
be
displayed
on
a
specially
designed
base
located
at
biloxi's
lighthouse
park
on
highway
90.
because
of
the
events
of
2020.
F
B
B
B
F
B
Right
now,
that's
that's
the
real
intriguing
part
of
this,
because
it's
like
putting
the
cart
before
the
horse,
because
normally
you
start
with
the
bottom
and
you
work
your
way
up,
but
I
already
have
that
completed
bust,
which
I
have
to
make
everything
else
in
proportion.
Proportions
are
everything,
so
that's
the
real
challenging
part
well
that.
B
F
B
B
B
Exactly
I'll
do
the
whole
figure
in
styrofoam.
The
reason
for
that
is
that
it
reduces
the
weight.
If
I
did
it
all
in
clay,
he
would
be
monstrously
heavy,
but
this
way
he
still
will
be
sizable
and
because
of
size,
but
the
clay
won't
be
nearly
as
thick
as
it
would
have
been
otherwise,
and
that
makes
a
big
difference
in
transportation
and
my
husband
and
I
will
take
him
up
to
the
foundry
for
the
first
step
in
getting
him
cast
into
bronze.
Now.
F
B
B
We
spend
time
at
the
foundry
doing
that,
then,
after
that
he
is
taken
and
another
mold,
which
is
called
a
ceramic
shell,
mold,
is
put
over
the
wax,
and
that
takes
quite
a
long
period
of
time
because
it's
a
it's
a
liquid
mixture
that
you
have
to
add
on
layer
by
layer.
Of
course,
each
layer
has
to
dry
thoroughly
and
you
can
build
up.
You
can
have
as
many
as
15
coats
of
it
before
the
you're
finished
then
that
ceramic
shell
mold
is
heated,
so
all
the
wax
then
melts
out
of
it.

Our
journey
to
celebrate
fred
hayes
and
the
apollo
13
50th
anniversary
also
had
a
problem:
covid
cancer
and
zeta
covidwell.
You
know
the
story.
Our
artist
mary
davidson
was
treated
for
breast
cancer
and
survived
and
is
back
to
work.
Hurricane
zeta
damaged
the
pedestal
on
which
fred
hayes
sculpture
will
be
erected.
It
too
will
be
repaired
and
we
will
go
on.
L
And
we
first
home
we
lived
in
was
actually
a
duplex
on
lemieux
street,
just
over
the
railroad
tracks
about
four
houses
up
from
the
bark's
root
beer
factory,
and
I
spent
I
wasn't
very
interested.
I
spent
a
lot
of
time.
I
walked
down
the
street
and
looking
to
hit
a
side
window,
you
could
look
in
at
all
the
mechanical
aspects
of
box
bottles,
all
glass
in
those
days
coming
down
the
assembly
line,
getting
filled
and
with
caps
put
on
them.
L
I
have
two
sisters
brenda
now.
Brenda
johnston,
who
was
seven
years
and
five
months
younger
than
I
and
even
a
younger
daughter,
is
actually
I
was
starting
to
head
off
to
college
was
my
sister
edie,
who
was
17
years
younger
than
me,
and
so
that
that
was
the
family.
I
had
no
brothers,
I
was
the
oldest.
L
My
dad
was
a
good
handy
person
could
do
almost
anything
any
type
of
task
that
way
well,
that
that
was
the
reason
I
I
transferred.
It
was
funny
at
one
point,
neil
who
had
was
ahead
of
me
about
three
years:
neal
started
with
nasa
at
lewis
and
went
to
edwards
and
then
neal
applied
and
went
into
the
astronaut
program.
He
visited
back
at
flight
research
center
and
don
malek,
and
I
another
pilot
talked
to
him
and
asked
him
what
it's
like
to
be
an
astronaut
neil's
summary
for
us
was
well.
L
At
the
same
time,
so
I
had
to
think
real
hard
about
whether
I
should
even
apply,
but
then
I
said
well,
it's
a
chance
to
go
to
the
moon
and
that'd
be
a
great
adventure,
and
if
I
stay
here
at
edwards,
I'm
not
going
to
have
that
chance.
So
that's
really
what
convinced
me
I
should
apply
and
sign
up
for
the
astronaut
program.
L
L
L
We
could
feel
some
motion
not
very
not
very
much
motion,
but
some
motion
of
the
vehicles
and
so
instantly
we
knew
this
is
not
normal.
This
is
something
wrong.
Jim
lovell
has
had
drifted
up
into
the
command
module.
By
that
time,
jack
swigert
had
made
the
call
houston
would
have
had
a
problem
here
and
jim
repeated
it
because
houston
did
not
reply
to
jack,
and
I
shortly
also
floated
up
and
zero
g
back
to
my
position
in
the
right
couch.
L
L
It
took
some
time
of
troubleshooting.
In
fact,
mission
control,
thought
for
18
minutes
because
of
the
different
array
of
caution
warning
lights
on
in
different
systems
that
were
not
related
in
any
way
that
it
was
false.
There
were
false
signals,
that's
something
that
happened
in
the
caution,
warning,
electronics,
after
18
minutes
they
got
busy
because
it
was
now
for
sure
real
and
jim
had
reported,
seeing
a
gas
or
something
fluid
flowing
away
from
the
spacecraft,
seen
it
out
the
window
and
we
went
into
troubleshooting
mode
mainly
now,
because
we'd
also
detected.
L
L
K
N
L
L
So
that's
what
we
did,
that
we
gemini
left
and
got
very
busy
powering
up
the
lunar
module
and
a
critical
step
was
transferring
the
inertial
measuring
unit
angles,
which
is
the
device
that
tells
you
how
to
point
very
accurately,
because
you
need
it
very
accurate
to
do
any
engine
maneuvers
to
change
the
path
the
trajectory,
so
we
can
manually
do
that,
but
jack.
Given
us
the
readings
out
of
a
three
registers
called
noun
20s
that
jim
could
manually,
he
did
manually
crank
them
into
the
limb
computer.
L
That
would
torque
that
platform
when
we
powered
it
up
to
those
angles.
So
we
had
a
good
platform.
It
was
very
critical
at
the
time
we
were
not
going
around
the
moon
in
the
way
that
we
got
us
home
if
we'd
done
nothing.
From
that
point,
we
would
have
missed
the
earth,
but
I
think
about
later
they
did
a
simulation
years
later.
Figured
out.
L
L
L
As
things
came
up
like
mentioned,
the
lithium
hydroxide
that
took
some
time
over
a
day
to
realize
that
lithium,
that
carbon
dioxide
was
building
up
and
we
needed
a
way
to
get
rid
of
it
and
the
lunar
module
which
had
a
different
shape.
Cartridge
of
this
lithium
material,
which
could
scrub
the
air
of
carbon
dioxide
did
not
have
enough
because
we're
going
to
have
to
make
this
vehicle
last
four
days
versus
two
days.
L
So
they
had
the
jury
rig
a
way
to
use
the
abundant
cartridges
we
had
from
the
mother
ship,
which
is
a
square
shape,
and
they
figured
that
out
and
actually
tested
it
in
a
chamber
in
building
a
seven
at
houston
and
they
had
a
limb
environmental
system
set
up
in
the
chamber
and
tested
that
at
work
before
they
sent
the
instructions
up
to
us.
So.
L
L
L
The
next
two
corrections
mid-course,
which
are
very
small
maneuvers,
not
very
long
used
first,
one
using
a
decent
engine
for
14
seconds.
Second,
one
about
22
seconds
using
the
400
pound
attitude,
trusses,
all
four
of
them
firing
in
one
direction.
We're
done
to
correct
tweak
the
trajectory
on
the
on
the
way
home.
Those
were
all
done
manually,
making
an
alignment
first
out
the
window
using
the
coast,
which
is
like
a
gun
sight.
L
L
As
you
come
through
entry,
I
never
suspected,
because
when
we
saw
the
damaged
area
when
we
separated
the
service
module,
it
looked
like
the
quarter
of
the
spacecraft
panel
had
blown
straight
out
in
a
way
not
downward
toward
where
the
heat
shield
was
so
and
it
didn't
look
like
there
was
that
much
shrapnel
or
anything
that
would,
it
could
have
damaged
it.
So.
L
L
Well,
we
were
somewhat
shocked
by
the
amount
of
damage
we
saw
because,
like
I
said,
a
quarter
of
the
spacecraft
had
blown
off
and
there
was
broken
wires
hanging
out
torn
thermal
blankets.
You
know
quite
a
bit
of
disarray
in
that
area
and
thinking
back
the
intent
of
the
explosion.
We
felt
did
not
seem
that
severe
frankly
for
what
the
damage
we
saw.
F
B
B
B
F
B
Right
now,
that's
that's
the
real
intriguing
part
of
this,
because
it's
like
putting
the
cart
before
the
horse,
because
normally
you
start
with
the
bottom
and
you
work
your
way
up,
but
I
already
have
that
completed
bust,
which
I
have
to
make
everything
else
in
proportion.
Proportions
are
everything,
so
that's
the
real
challenging
part.
B
B
B
B
Exactly
I'll
do
the
whole
figure
in
styrofoam.
The
reason
for
that
is
that
it
reduces
the
weight.
If
I
did
it
all
in
clay,
he
would
be
monstrously
heavy,
but
this
way
he
still
will
be
sizable
and
because
of
size,
but
the
clay
won't
be
nearly
as
thick
as
it
would
have
been
otherwise,
and
that
makes
a
big
difference
in
transportation,
mainly
and
my
husband,
and
I
will
take
him
up
to
the
foundry
for
the
first
step
in
getting
him
cast
into
bronze.
B
B
We
spend
time
at
the
foundry
doing
that,
then,
after
that
he
is
taken
and
another
mold,
which
is
called
a

is
put
over
the

and
that
takes
quite
a

period
of

because
it's
a
it's

that
you

Of
course,
each
layer
has
to
dry
thoroughly
and
you
can
build

You
can
have
as
many
as
15

it
before
the
you're
finished
then
that
ceramic
shell
mold
is
heated,
so
all
the
wax
then
melts
out
of
it.
B
F
B
Mary,
I
see
fred's
growing.
Yes,
he
is
by
leaps
and
bounds.
He's
gonna
soon
be
I'll,
definitely
be
on
a
ladder,
the
next
stage.
So
where
are
we
at
now?
Okay,
what
I've
done
is
created
a
platform
up
here
that
the
finished
bust-
that
I
have
will
rest
on
that
and
of
course
here's.
I
have
to
do
the
arms
first,
so
I
do
the
wooden
armature.
B
F
B
B
B
F
B
B
B
F
B
F
B
Pouring
is,
but
we
have
to
build
two
sets
of
moles
up
there,
so
my
husband
and
I
will
be
making
many
trips
up
to
the
foundry
because
we
work
with
them.
It's
not
a
case
of
just
dropping
it
off
and
they
do
the
work
we
go
hand
in
hand.
We
do
a
first
set
of
moles,
it's
a
which
is
a
rubber
mold,
with
a
plaster
behind
it
to
hold
it
in
place.
Then
we
pour
wax
into
that.
B
Then
we
take
the
wax
and
we
build
up
another
mold
much
more
complicated.
It's
called
ceramic
shell
that
that's
a
very
slow
process
that
will
take
them.
Probably
you
know
well
over
six
eight
weeks
to
do
then.
After
that
dries
we
melt
out
the
wax,
and
then
we
pour
the
bronze.
But
the
pouring
is
yes.
In
one
day,
it's
bang.
E
C
H
H
F
F
F
The
statue
has
been
finished.
Here's
a
look
back
at
how
this
amazing
story
of
the
fred
hayes
statue
and
mary
davison's
determination
to
see
it
through
in
the
final
segment
you'll
see
the
pouring
of
the
molten
bronze,
which
will
stand
in
biloxi
as
a
reminder
of
those
who
break
the
bonds
and
never
give
up
their
dream.
F
The
inferno,
art,
foundry,
created
and
owned
by
philip
hutzelman,
along
with
a
dedicated
team
of
artisans,
provides
casting
services
to
regional
and
national
artists.
The
foundry
is
nestled
among
the
hardwoods
outside
the
foundry.
Some
of
phil's
own
creations
welcome
visitors
to
the
facility
inside.
I
noticed
some
molds
to
be
used
in
the
casting
process.
F
F
Some
of
the
workers
slowly
add
more
ingots
as
the
flames
increase
and
the
temperature
rises
after
reaching
the
proper
temperature.
The
bronze
is
ready
workers,
slowly,
lift
the
crucible
from
the
heat
and
with
a
small
crane.
The
crucible
is
lifted
and
moved
to
the
mold,
where
the
molten
metal
is
carefully
poured.
