I was sitting on the front steps of my childhood home, listening to my transistor radio and looking up into the sky. I guess I was hoping I could really see something! (I just now remembered how scratchy the concrete felt on the backs of my legs. )

I was in a fog-shrouded San Francisco on a cross-country bus trip sponsored by a New Jersey YMCA. Missed the whole damn thing, but read about it the next day. I felt kind of left out.

I was at Fenway Park with my parents watching the Red Sox game. Forgot who they were playing, but after they made the announcement, some guy with a trumpet started playing "God Bless America." Thought that was pretty cool.

I was sitting on a couch with my fiancée at her parents' place watching the television ... a moment captured in ink on paper by her artist father ... we still have the drawing (not handy or I'd scan it) and we're still married ... the moon landing happened exactly two weeks before our marriage ... that means in two weeks time..........

Congratulations, to both of you. In this day and age, that's a major achievement.

I was in a small Arizona motel room with my parents and sister on a cross-country vacation trip. Don't remember anybody in that room saying anything for the longest time - just sitting together watching that little screen. I remember thinking, "Bet they miss their families."

I was laying on the floor of an apt. in Cincy in a sleeping bag, sick as a dog having just arrived the day or two before from living briefly in Atlanta. I moved there and ended up living in a commune of sorts in a suburban neighborhood. We secured jobs at the the upcoming Atlanta Pop Festival, where we worked for several days before helping set up at the Atlanta Speedway. I even got yelled out for taking my Opel Rekord for a spin around the track at about 105 mph. I got to meet all the performers and do some stage announcements. We had had a fire in the house prob. started by some guys crashing in LR, a cig butt or candle. After the week at the show, I arrived home to find out that we had been evicted! I went to my friend's parents house who let me spend the night,packed me a lunch and sent me packing. I drove to Cincy where I only knew a couple of people, one being an ex-girlfriend, Nancy. She took me to a friend of hers house and he agreed that I could stay there. I was feeling sick when I left Atlanta, probably from the heat, and I spent the next couple of days in delirium. I remember watching the landing on the guy's b & w tv as I lay on the floor. What a week!
