Self-effacing at that.

Agree! How many on here saw him step foot on the moon live? I remember by Dad telling me to pay attention because I was watching history happen before my eyes. He didn't need to tell me to pay attention, as I was glued to the tv!!!! I've always been fascinated by anything related to space travel because of watching that event live on tv.

I can recall where I was when Kennedy was shot, when Reagan was shot and when Armstrong stepped on the moon. Can't remember what I had for dinner last night, though. Neil grew up about 15 miles down the road- we used to take visitors to his house and take pictures in his driveway. I'm sure his parents were thrilled.

Yep..... I remember the moon-walk. I also remember we use to be assembled into the school cafeteria so we could watch moon walks and other space-related activities.
Might have to stop in Wapak to visit the museum again. I've only been there once or twice.

Was thinking the exact same thing. I've only been there once.

Not me. Not old enough.
