just goofin' on ya Steve...

I am very sorry to hear about your dad's passing....It's nice to hear how esteemed he and your mother are in your mind. What a wonderful legacy to have left you...

We watched all the launches as well and I vividly remember our apartment crammed with people to watch the moon landing on our new colour TV....altho I do believe it was broadcast in black and white....hmmmm. was it in colour or did Ted Turner colourize that old footage and that's what I remember?
lol
It's lovely to read your memories and loving thoughts...thanks.
