Sitting in my parents living room watching on one of them new fangled color t.v.s. Luckily it was on all of the 3 channels we could get. Well, we couldn't get them that good because I wondered why it was snowing on the moon.😀 Bob

I was camping with my family up in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. A place called Deer Park on Lake Superior and Muskellunge Lake. I watched the moon landing on a tiny screen B&W battery powered TV down a few campsites from ours.

The video from the moon was actually in pretty high definition, but it was in a format that broadcast TV couldn't use, much to their horror as they didn't discover it until the event was happening. When they ran it through a converter box, it came out looking as we saw it.

July 20, 1969: The Apollo 11 spaceflight landed on the Moon at 20:17. Approximately 7 hours later, on July 21st, Neil Armstrong and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin, 33° (pictured) became the first people to set foot on the lunar surface. Aldrin carried a small Scottish Rite flag with him, tucked inside his space suit.

Was my 12th Bday. My brother, father and I had wrapped up putting in a nice inground pool, that Spring. That day I was raking and spreading soil and/or putting in grass seed. I am sure we had a cake later after work hours.

Blondie for 7/20/2023
Created by Dean Young, Blondie and Dagwood Bumstead are the quintessential American family: working, raising kids, and pointing out the humor in everyday life. At over seventy years old, Blondie is still going strong.Best Regards - AQH
