I was 12. Our family was vacationing on Cape Cod with my dad’s brother and his family. All 15 of us were huddled to watch around a small TV with aluminum foil on the rabbit ears to try to improve the reception.

My family was vacationing in Vancouver, and we went back to our hotel to watch the moon walk.

I was a junior at North Texas State University in Denton, married and managing a small building with 12 apartments. My wife, Carolyn, and I watched Armstrong's early morning landing on a 14 inch black & white portable TV. Hard to believe that was 50 years ago-- Seems like it was only a few days ago.

Yet I look in the mirror and I see my grandfather looking back at me.
