[R-390] OT Apollo 11 Mission

[Renée Deeter]

I was 13 at the time, in Fremont, CA and glued to the TV, a b&w, a team 
of horses could not drag me or my brother away. Dad was on call and on 
his way back to the hospital. I remember the incident all the events for 
that mission. Later I ordered pictures from NASA...they were free for 
the asking!  Still have them. What a way to encourage many of us to 
enter the sciences.
Renée, K6FSB
