We were in Fort Collins, Colorado. We had been married about 6 weeks and we were attending summer school. We lived in an apartment complex on the west edge of the Colorado State Univ. campus. There was a combination washing area/recreation center with a black and white TV. I don't think we owned a TV at that time so I watched, along with several other students, in the rec area. At first I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I remember when President Kennedy proclaimed space as the next frontier. I watched as President Nixon hailed the NASA accomplishments. Most of us couldn't express the pride we felt on that day. In the next forty years, we have taken space exploration for granted and consider it expensive. It will be interesting to see what happens in the next forty years.
1969 was a good year: I got married, finished my Master's Degree, and man walked on the moon.
