I have a book I got when I was 10 (1970) called "the Astronauts" a World Book publication by Pemberton and Broadley. The introduction says "Already, in just over six years, twenty four American Astronauts have orbited the earth 577 times..." . On page 28 it describes the 42 year old "Old Man Schirra" who with Tom Stafford in Gemini 6 and Gemini 7 with Lovell and Borman did the "dance of the twins". It is a great book full of snaps of the early Mercury and especially Gemini guys and ends with the tragedy of Appollo 1.
Does anyone know what happened to Quiet Jim McDivitt?
