[R-390] OT Apollo 11 Mission

[Bryan Stephens]

I was six years old. My father was transferred in July '69 from Norton AFB (So. California) to Lackland/Kelly AFB (San Antonio). We watched the launch on a basket-case B&W TV set at an old motel on Fredericksburg Rd (Travis Motel). As I recall the set failed not long after liftoff. We moved into a rental house just in time to watch the lunar landing and moonwalk on a decent RCA color console. I remember hearing the (CD?) sirens.
