...Correct on Brand, but the PLT was Don Lind. And on a side note,
after Jack Swigart was bounced from ASTP over his part in the Stamp
Scandal, Brand got the CMP slot because he was still freshly trained
for the same kind of rendevous ops that both ASTP and a Skylab rescue
mission would have required.(*)

(*) Someone remind me to add this factoid in when I update the ASTP
page in a few weeks. I keep forgetting to add it...
