The 59 seconds that changed the world forever--and Ethan recognized that, being in the cusp of an earth-changing event. He must've felt something like we all did watching the first moon landing. I was just a young child then, but that memory is stamped in my brain.

Do you remember feeling the hairs on your nape stand on end when Armstrong opened the door. And then as he bounced away from the lander, I remember the fear I felt for him, thinking he'll fall of the edge of the moon.

I had to laugh at your mention of the wind blowing hard on the Outer Banks. At our last campout on Hatteras, the wind was blowing so hard that if we hadn't tied the tent down with guy lines, we would've been set aloft, too.

Thank you for sharing and good luck finding a publisher. Hope to see you at the inaugural FRN Chapter meeting.

Yes, I do. I was 15 at the time.
