Jack Swigert in Denver

This is a different kind of post as it's only partially related to the topic of the blog. I was in the Denver International Airport on my way to Bozeman, MT, when I had to change terminals. When I went down to the train level to make the transfer, I saw this statue of astronaut John "Jack" Swigert. I immediately recognized it as the same as the one inside McDonnell Douglas Hall at Saint Louis University. I knew this statue was in the airport, but I didn't make the connection to SLU until this day. It does seem bigger than the one at SLU, but that may be a combination of it being on a pedestal or perhaps my memory is a bit blurred a year later as to just how big the one in Saint Louis is. Many universities have statues that are unique (meaning they have the only one), but of course that is not always the case. The famous statue of Will Rogers and his horse Soapsuds at my doctoral alma mater Texas Tech is one of three castings of the same mold. Anyway, here is Jack Swigert again.
