Apollo 50th

Today the United States and probably most of the World’s population is celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the Apollo landing on the Moon. As I mentioned 10 years ago on this blog, I know exactly where I was on July 20, 1969. Last week, I went on a search for my Boy Scout Jamboree photo taken during that week in 1969. I found it and here it is below. I’m in the front row.

Yesterday (July 19, 2019), Mary Ellyn and I visited the Kennedy Space Center in Florida during the Apollo 11 anniversary events. Below are a couple of photos from our visit.
