Moon Landing

     Where was I to vividly remember the Apollo 11 moon landing?  In Waterford at the pediatrician's office for a 2-month well-baby checkup.  Infant and I were already in one of the examination rooms when Dr. Grattan came in and invited us into his office to see the extraordinary event, live as it happened.    I remember us mothers positioning our infants so they could see the TV screen.  We wanted them  to witness history in the making.  We wanted to be able to tell our children that they had borne witness.  Everything then was still so new and shiny.
