On a photo of von Braun standing in front of the Saturn V rocket engines, Duke writes in full: "Dr. Werner Von Braun was an impressive man. I met him while attending his staff meeting at the MSFC in Alabama. Stu Roosa and I attended these monthly meetings and then reported back to the astronaut office on the Saturn V progress. I was so impressed with his technical comprehension yet with a humble spirit. I think he had more knowledge of rocketry than any person alive at the time. / Charlie Duke / Apollo 16 Moonwalker".
