Moon Greeter

When the Apollo 11 astronauts splashed down in the Pacific from their moon voyage July 24, the first man to greet them was Navy Lt.Clancy Hatleberg '65. The 25-year-old frogman gave the astronauts biological isolation suits and sprayed them and their craft with disinfectant. Hatleberg said he was not worried about being contaminated by anything brought back from the moon, and quarantine tests of the astronauts proved him a good prophet.

A native of Chippewa Falls, Wis., Lt. Hatleberg entered Dartmouth on a Navy ROTC scholarship. During his undergraduate career he ran intercollegiate cross country and track. He was a geography major and member of Chi Phi fraternity.
