9 Years old....

I was nine years old when men walked on the moon.

50 years ago this past week, I sat with my parents on our front steps, looking up to the Moon...saying that it was hard to believe but there were men there right now.

I was an amazing time to be alive....to watch the moon walk on TV.  From the amazing lift-off, to the splashdown, everyone was fascinated by what was happening.

When Apollo 13 was developing, I joined with millions of other people praying for their safe return.

We watched with fascination, as the "grainy" video, gave way to clearer and clearer shots as technology advanced before our very eyes.

50th Anniversary events are underway...with a lot of cool documentaries, web sites in real time, and photos being published.

Just an amazing time.
