LOL, she doesn't even know that she was the original candidate for the name "Moon Unit." She has a pretty ordinary name, but I did consider using "Woodstock" as her middle name.

Well, let's see....It was a Sunday, at 02:56 UTC on July 21 (10:56pm EDT, July 20), 1969, Armstrong made his descent to the Moon's surface and spoke his famous line exactly six and a half hours after landing.
Since I was 12, I was watching tv with the family (7:56 pm PDT), and was likely watching the broadcast, since I remember seeing it. They probably interrupted Disney for it, don't recall.

We were tent campimg with our two girls in Charles V. Stanton county park in Douglas County Oregon. A mortician and his family had a 13" B&W TV set up in their screen room and most of the campground was there. Fun looking over the trees and seeing the moon in the sky and watching the landing on TV.

I was down in Augusta GA working as a new car salesman at Harrison-Gulley Chevrolet on Walton Way. In June 1968 I was TDY at Ft Gordon GA making riot control training films in the Army and traded in my 1965 327 Nova for a 1968 SS396 Chevelle at the same dealer. When they landed on the moon I was at my girlfriends house watching Walter Cronkite cover the story.

I was in the bush in Vietnam playing Back Alley (card game) with my squad members waiting for the usual evening fireworks.
I'd been home from Vietnam for 3 years. I was selling Volkswagons in Boston. We watched it in the boss's office.

I was 10 and couldn't care less (at the time). It was summertime so we (kids in the neighborhood) played "mother may I" and "red light, green light", while all the adults stayed glued to the B/W's.
