That was one of the best birthday presents I've ever gotten,
July 20 1969 was my 17th birthday.
I had to threaten to quit my summer job at the grocery store
cause the boss wanted me to work that night.
I've got a pretty good collection of Apollo 11 stuff, one of these
days I'm going to take some photos of it and do a web page.

I can still remember that night watching the first moon walk on an old
BW Emerson TV in my basement while shooting pool with friends. I
repaired the set and put a large speaker in the cabinet(small console)
and had an FM converter on top made by Regency. For me growing up in the
50's was a gift I will always cherish.
