Gemini Spacewalkers on Apollo Moonwalks

Am I correct that only 2 Apollo astronauts had done EVAs prior to 
landing on the moon?  That would be Aldrin (11) and Cernan (17).

Scott (15) was supposed to do an EVA on Gemini 8, but the flight was 
terminated after an issue with a prior objective (docking to an Agena 
target) resulted in de-activating the OAMS and activating the RCS.

The count seems to be 3 CMPs that had done Gemini EVAs ... Cernan (10), 
Collins (11), and Gordon (12).

Stafford (10), Armstrong (11), Lovell (13), and Young (16) were the 
IVAs for the Gemini EVAs that went on to fly on Apollo, and 2 of them 
did moonwalks.
