I was at Scout Camp! Amazing! I watched the moon landing from a log cabin without wired electrical outlets or running water!

We watched it on a new Sylvania color TV that cost almost as much as a new car in 1969. Not the same now for sure.

I watched it with my grandfather. He was born in the 1890s, before the invention of the airplane, and rode the Chisolm Trail, driving cattle.

Now you cannot find a black and white TV - except the small-ish one I have which is not for sale. ;^)

I was at the Boy Scout National Jamboree in Idaho when Neil Armstrong set down on the moon.

When he said, "Mission Control, the Eagle has landed," 30,000 scouts made the mountains ring.
