Just found out today that BUZZ ALDRIN is now 80 !
He, and Neil landed on the moon in July 1969.
Forty years ago!
I remember watching the Apollo 11 coverage and seeing Neil & Buzz first step on the moon.
The entire family watched from our shore house on the old Motorola Quasar TV (with the works in a drawer. The very first all "Solid State" color TV.
Boy this news makes me feel old too !
I met BUZZ once at an appearance at Drexel University in Phila in 74, or 75 !
He is a very nice guy in person !
He made sure that everyone who wanted to ask a question was able to do so.
The University officials tried to pull him from the microphone ~
But he would not hear of it !
In those days We, and I thought anythng was possible in America
Where did that Can-Do spirit go ?
I wish I had a time machine~
I would go back in a second !.
