In Mullanes book he tells of a payload specialist getting a bit loopy, his experiment was not going well and he was overly interested with how to open the hatch. I believe he wrote that this led to a lock installed that only the commander and pilot could unlock.
You're combining two PS's that Mullane spoke about. The first was what he described as a "depressed, constipated PS", the second had an interest in the hatch opening mechanism that made the shuttle CDR nervous.
How dissapointing it must be to loose your place on an EVA

I can't even fathom, but luckily he will be on tomorrows' EVA.
Schlegel is 56 as he performs his first EVA.
Were there any astronauts older than that on their first space walk?

Schlegel has broken the record that belonged to the Swiss astronaut Claude Nicollier. He was 55 in December 1999, when he did his first and only EVA.
Thanks for confirming that, Aquarius.
