Moon Landing

Feeling a little weepy while watching TV coverage of the Apollo 11 moon launch. In 1966 I had a summer job as a student intern with Boeing in Huntsville Alabama as part of the Saturn 5 project. The following summer I worked for NASA at the Marshal Space Flight Center with the same project. I can’t say that I did any important work there but it was amazing to be a tiny cog in the work along with thousands of other men and women including my Dad. 50 years ago as newlyweds we watched with millions of others as that rocket took the three men to the moon. The following year we followed another of President Kennedy’s dreams by joining the Peace Corps.
