My parents were visiting me at the time (I lived in Seattle and they were
still in the SF Bay Area). We watched it on my B&W tv. My father was excited
because he was born before the Wright Brothers flight and was proud that he
lived through what at that time was the entire history of manned powered
flight. He grew up with horses pulling the plows on his parents farm. Quite
a dramatic change.

I also remember it well as I was 16. We were on a family camping vacation
(last one I took with the folks) and were set up beside a lake in a park in
new Liskeard, Ontario. It was a warm and beautiful summer evening and we
listened on our old Zenith transistor AM radio while looking up at the moon
shining over the lake. I remember Dad telling us those boys are up there
while we were listening to history happen.
