TV Station Finds Missing Moon Rock, 7 News
“The station decided to call former Gov. John Vanderhoof to find out if he remembered what happened to the plaque presented to him by NASA astronaut Jack Lousma on Jan. 9, 1974. “Well, governor, what do you know about these moon rocks? Where are they?” a reporter asked. “They’re in my house, in my display of things,” he said. Vanderhoof, 88, said he didn’t know what to do with the display once he left office so he simply decided to take it with him. He said he did not know it was worth $5 million on the black market.”
