I was 8. We had just moved to Houston July 1, 1969. Went to to the neighbors house to watch it because they had a color TV.

My Grandma (Dad’s Mom) was born in 1901 and lived to be 103. I often stop and think of ALL the things She saw in Her lifetime: Horse & Buggy to cars/The Wright Bros./Lindberg/Great Depression/WWI/WWII/Korea/Nam/Space Flight/All the Mideast Crap/Space Shuttle/etc.

She outlived all 3 of Her Sons

to see that much history in one lifetime is incredible... also shows how fast technology advanced in that short a time as compared to the rest of recorded history

I had two aunts that were born in the 1890’s and they lived to see Halley’s Comet twice and the moon landing.
