I have several copies of Carrying the Fire. My favourite book. I love the fact it's not been ghost written. His very dry sense of humour and deprecating manner comes across in many interviews both old and recent. The fact he was carrying a fish nailed to a plaque to give to Guenter Wendt before the launch of Apollo XI just shows his cheeky irreverence.
I'm sure he's now off fishing with Neil Armstrong.
