I had recently finished my first year of law school, and was working for the NJ Criminal Law Revision Commission. My grandparents were visiting from Florida, and it was the first time they had been to the home we purchased the previous summer, We watched the whole thing together on a black and white TV in my basement.
My grandparents, both of whom were born in Austria Hungary, were pleased that they had lived to experience something a spectacular as a landing on the moon.
