Sams & Co.,- Inc. See Cooper on TV The lively tone for the dinner was set early as guests milled around a television set that gave word of the astronaut’s bullseye landing in the mid-Pacific. “I think the fact that the capsule was named ‘Faith 7’ had something to do with it,” commented William Louth, a native of Kokomo, who is now president of the Medallic Art Co. here. Buren McCormack, vice-presi-dent and editorial director of the Wall Street Journal, a native of Jamestown, said “just as we’re about to sit down to dinner, we get this wonderful news.
