*********************************
If you were over the age of 5-years old, 40-years ago today, then you probably remember exactly where you were... Me.. I was 14-years old. My Dad had gotten transferred to Mobile, Alabama that year.... I sat with my Dad and sister in our den, watching the moon landing... with Walter Cronkite on the TV. We didn't have cable or satellite back then... just an antenna on the roof and rabbit ears on the TV set.

We sat and watched in awe... We had finally achieved President Kennedy's dream... 5 years after his assassination. A man on the moon... now that was really something!

Remembering history... and where I was... 40-years ago today... down here in French Lique...
