I was at home for the summer working a summer job while in college. I watched it with my family. Incredible. Can’t believe it’s been 50 years. Such a proud moment.
The 60s decade was a wild ride. Lots of ups and downs. Loved all the NASA stuff. Still do.

1969 was quite a year. Best music year ever, I was 16-17 that year and when we landed on the moon I was in Paris, France on a group study tour with other high school kids from Baton Rouge and Zachary.
The moon landing was at like 2-3 am and the headlines the next day in France read FRANCE AND THE UNITED STATES CONQUER THE MOON.
I loved Joe Cocker and girls. It was some year.
JFK was a shock. I was 9 almost 10 and home from school that day for some reason. My mother couldn’t stop crying. RFK and MLK I remember but not as vividly. By that time it was almost like nothing shocked anybody anymore. Vietnam was a mess and I hated the anti war crowd. I felt like Nixon would fix the problem. He did.
911 was a shock and I remember it was a Tuesday and I was on the way to a Chamber of Commerce Board meeting. I was running a little late and broke the news to the others at the meeting. 911 changed our country almost as much as the JFK assignation and Vietnam. Just my recollections and opinions. Oh, and I never like Walter Cronkite. He was the original “fake news” anchor.
