Shortly after 1 p.m. yesterday, Viets, wife Sheila Dundon and friend Don Jourdan set off in a two-vehicle caravan as Jourdan's F-150 pickup towed a trailer carrying a 40-foot novelty shaped like a rocket known as the Moonliner II. They were headed for the Airline History

Long before the Strip was dry-cured to its current shoe-leather state, it dreamed of being the first meat patty in space. That's why this curious cutlet's juices started flowing when it heard about a rocket ship landing soon in downtown Kansas City, Missouri.

Some people preserve family memories in scrapbooks and dresser drawers, filling them with vintage photographs of mom and dad, mementos of wartime service, souvenirs of that first trip to Disneyland.

Gordon spent his childhood building Disneyland models in his garage and went on to become a show producer on the park's new Autopia. Mumford, meanwhile, filled his early years with Disney memorabilia and worked his way up to his current
