A grouping of two (2) framed certificates awarded to Carolynne J. Gregorek in recognition of her contributions to the Apollo program:

1.) Manned Flight Awareness: Apollo 8 framed certificate & commemorative Apollo 8 medallion presented to Carolynne Jeanne Precel [Gregorek]. 1968. Signed by Frank Borman, United States Air Force colonel. Measuring: 17 7/8th x 20inch framed, 7 1/4 x 9 1/2inch visible, 1 1/2 x 1 1/2inch medallion. 

An excellently framed document with a commemorative medallion, presented for the purposes of recognizing individuals who participated in the Apollo 8 mission. Attached to the certificate is a relic from the Apollo 8 flight, which is described as being "carried on the first manned lunar flight, a small piece of aluminum. This piece of metal was melted down and incorporated into the metal used in making this commemorative medallion." Pressed into a 11/2inch medallion, it bears the names and profiles of the three pioneering astronauts, as well their mission dates of December 21-27 1968.

Signed by Frank Borman, who acted as commander during the Apollo 8 mission, this certificate was presented to Carolynne J Precel for her contributions in the Apollo Space Program. The certificate and commemorative medallion are described as a reminder of "a sense of active participation in this historic flight, but also to assure each of your of the appreciation of Astronauts Borman, Lovell and Anders for the superior workmanship, conscientious performance, and dedication to the safety of fellow human beings that made our successful flight a reality." 

2.) The Apollo Spacecraft Program Recognition Certificate presented to Carolynne J. Goree. December 1972, Houston, Texas.  Signed by Owen G. Morris, manager of the Apollo Spacecraft Program. Measuring: 22 1/4 x 18 1/2 inch framed, 19 1/2 x 15 1/2inch visible. 

A nicely framed document gifted in recognition of "the significant contribution you have made to the success of the Apollo Program and as an expression of our appreciation for your continued dedication and personal effort in behalf of the Apollo missions." The document bears images of the official flight patches of Apollo 7 to Apollo 15. The Apollo missions were first launched in 1968, concluding finally on December 19, 1972 with Apollo 17. This certificate of recognition was presented around this time. 

Two excellent certificates presented to an essential member of the Apollo missions, one attributed to the beginning of the missions in 1968, and the second at the conclusion in 1972. A testament to the dedication and contributions of Gregorek during the space race of the 20th century.
