<VV> Fw: My Plans for Monday

[Michael Kovacs]

The Corvair '65 500 coupe was in the garage with my '69 Nova, Just returned from my summer house in 
Smallwood NY.  I got the blurry TV pictures of the 'first step' in B&W on my 8 MM movie camera that I purchased in Japan that could work almost in darkness.

Subject: <VV> My Plans for Monday

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?

--Bob
