<VV> My Plans for Monday

[Rick Norris]

My first wife and I were heading up to visit some friends in my 65 Corsa 
with three of the kids near the Charleston airport (Yeager Airport now) 
listening to it on the radio on as we were running late and missed the TV 
part.
The fourth kid was still in the hanger!

> On July 20, 1969, I was riding shotgun in my father's 1964 Greenbrier,
> on a highway in New Jersey known as the Garden State Parkway.  At 4:18
> PM that day, we heard on the car's radio:
>
> "Houston, Tranquility Base here.  The Eagle has landed."
>
> How big a moment was that?  To this day, every time -- and I mean every
> time -- that I drive past the point on the highway where we were when
> this happened, I think of it.  Every time.
>
> Monday will mark 40 years to the day.
>
> Dad's been gone over ten years now.  But I still have his Greenbrier.
> On Monday, at 4:18 PM, with the radio on, I will be driving past -- or
> stopped at -- that very location.
>
> Where you in a Corvair when man first landed on the Moon?
