A note from my Mom recalling a few details of the Apollo 11 moon landing which remind us how different the world was then in so many ways.

….I wore a maternity dress for the first time. In listening to the coverage of the moon walk I recalled that your dad and I were invited to a moon walk watching party at an Arthur Andersen friend’s home. Everyone thought that Armstrong would land and just hop right out, only he took six hours to make the giant leap for mankind. In the meantime we learned that e-v-e-r-y restaurant had closed and the world was watching their televisions. The hostess was not prepared to feed all ten of us, so the host got on the phone and found some place that had carry out and went and got sandwiches. We never did eat at the fancy restaurant in the plan for that night.
Love, Mom
PS: The dress was aqua.

Thanks, Mom! I love you too.
