I grew up in Cocoa Beach. Until the movie the Right Stuff came out I never realized Alan Shepard, John Glenn & the boys were famous. Cocoa Beach was a very small town in the 60s and to us they were just neighbors.

Cute story, and WOW on that experience. But I gotta tell ya... if you went from the earyl-1960s to early 1980s not realizing that the dudes who flew in space, walked on the moon, and got ticker-tape parades on Broadway "weren't famous".. well, pick up a magazine, my friend!

Also, did they ALL own corvettes, or just some?
