We were at the house of a family friend, who was going to go on vacation (car trip) with our family (from Memphis to Springfield, Illinois). We were supposed to leave late night/early morning, but waited until the capsule landed, hovering around our friend's little black and white TV watching those fuzzy pictures. We just couldn't leave while the world was holding its collective breath! While we were on the trip, Dad would include in his home movies newspaper headlines of the NASA mission. We were all so excited! My husband told me his grandmother reminisced later: "When I was growing up, we had coal-oil burning lamps and not even iceboxes, and now there is a man on the moon!" It makes you realize the sweeping changes that had taken place in society within a few generations - it was amazing for us - just imagine how incredible it was to the older people! PS - I later requested and received an autographed picture of Neil Armstrong in his spacesuit!

What talent you have! You must have been a big hit - it looks lovely!
