Do you remember where you where when Neil walked on the moon??


Yep! I was a member of one of the two PanAm B-707 crews laying-over
at a very small hotel in Prestwick, Scotland. The only TV was in the
also very small lobby, lounge and bar. The 80 year old bartender
became very upset when we kept him up until the early hours of the
morning waiting for Neil to exit the lander. A great time was had by
all...except the bartender.

Ask me where I was when Powers was shot down....yep, right there at
his point of intended landing in Norway. They woke us up, stuffed us
into our P-2V, and said to go anywhere but there. We didn't know what
had happened until reading the newspaper when we arrived in London a
few hours later.
