Well.....I just broke my leg two days before and on the 20th I got very sick.    I laid on the couch and was glued to the B&W TV. My Mother and Father went over to my brothers that just bought a color TV.

I was so into the space program as a kid. Just the idea of flight.........
Still have the same feelings.

This is the day I can Verify Tom Wardens Continental. My dad had a contest in West Covina in the parking lot of his Hobby shop and it was there. I know this because we talked about it for weeks.

Hey Bob, I didn't know you were from Covina. I and a bunch had a club out of Glendora in the late 50's through the early 60's. we were named the Glendora Thunderbirds. I was the president until I went in the Navy late '62. We used to fly, among other places, at Gladstone H.S.

Spent many hours in your dad's shop.

Sure is a small world.

I went to Edgewood High and we use to fly at Willow wood JR. High.

I mostly remember when the lander left the moon.  I was working at a computer start-up company in Silicon Valley (Tenet, Inc.) as electrical engineer. Everyone stopped to watch a little b/w T.V. set as the guys blasted off the moon.  I was impressed by how easily it went up.

Our little company later went bankrupt, but it wasn't my fault! (I hope!).  I ended up with a pile of worthless stock certificates!

My wife, two sons (ages 7 and 8 ) and I were on vacation in Gloucester MA.  We watched the lunar landing on a big 17 inch TV in a furnature store in town.  That evening we let the boys stay up and we all watched the EVA on our 9 inch Black and White TV in our travel trailer.  

Those were the days,
