Default Re: 39 Years Ago Yesterday...

Man,what a feeling of community that was.
I remember hearing "They've Landed,They've Landed!"..sometime after 3PM Chicago time on a hot afternoon,and my Dad saying to all the kids in our area,"Cmon in,we're gonna watch em walk!".
With us huddled around any TV in the neighborhood for nearly 7 hours,it wasn't until sometime after 10PM we heard/saw the famous images.I can't think of too many things that could hold a 6 year olds attention for that long of time back then.
It was all worth it to me.
