On Saturday, August 1, at 10 a.m. at the West Tisbury Free Public Library, the Ortlip family will unveil a portrait of Captain Eugene A. Cernan, Commander of the Apollo 17, which was NASA’s most recent manned lunar mission.

This portrait was painted by Paul D. Ortlip, a participating artist on three NASA recovery missions for Gemini 5, Apollo 12 and Apollo 17.

Also at the library on Saturday, patrons will be able to view the moon rocks on loan from NASA.

This public event is free and refreshments will be served. For details, call 508-693-3366.
