In my posession, I have an Alan Bean signed picture of Earth from the moon and his Apollo patch with the other Astronaughts he was with on that flight. Adamdaley (talk) 03:56, 29 September 2010 (UTC)
I recently added a 2010 photograph of Alan Bean presenting a moon rock to an exhibition in Germany to his page on the German Wikipedia (Alan Bean on the German Wikipedia). Maybe this photograph is also of interest for the English-language edition.
Best regards

Alan Bean (1932–2018) was an American naval officer, naval aviator, aeronautical engineer, test pilot, and NASA astronaut. During the Apollo 12 mission, on 19–20 November 1969, he became the fourth person to walk on the Moon. This portrait photograph, taken by NASA two months before the mission, depicts Bean beside a mock-up of the Apollo Lunar Module, wearing his space suit without the helmet and gloves.
