I included the Moon Landing question in a recent newsletter to my readers and asked them to share their experiences. I was so delighted by their personal and intimate recollections that I asked their permission to share their poignant short stories on my blog. Thankfully, most obliged.
I hope you enjoy these wonderful recollections. If you were alive back in 1969, please add your story to the comments below and SHARE this post so that friends and family may both enjoy and add their stories.
#1 – Adolescent Adventures
I’ll start with my moon landing memory. I was 17 and had effectively run away from home for a week. I was staying in a guesthouse in Provincetown on Cape Cod, watching on an old black-and-white TV with the other guests (which is a whole other story). We all seemed to relish the rapture of that transcendent moment. Two weeks later I drove my 1968 GTO to Woodstock. It was quite a summer. – Charlie
#2 Oscilloscope
I was working in a government R&D lab. We jury-rigged a receiver to an o-scope and watched the landing in living green. – George
