UI graduate's fourth space shuttle flight set for Sunday

DANVILLE – NASA astronaut Joe Tanner plans to take only two items with him on his last launch into space next week – a gearshift knob from his oldest son's 1969 Camaro and his youngest son's keychain ornament.

The tokens are memorabilia of Tanner's last space flight for his sons, Tanner said.
