White Bear Lake, Minnesota. I think the footage we now see of the landing process was not broadcast live and that may be why I don't remember too much about it from that Saturday afternoon. I do recall my mother telling my brother (15) and me (almost 12) that it would be several hours before they stepped out on the moon and that it would be after we were in bed. "Aw, Mommmmm!" That night, they got us up out of bed to let us watch it. It was so terribly late at night (9:56 pm). On a Saturday. During the summer when school was out. We got to watch a few minutes and then it was off to bed again. Unforgettable.
