[Rhodes22-list] 39 years ago tonight - where were you?

[Steven Alm]

I remember it very well.  I was 12 and was at home watching TV.  From where
I sat in the living room I could see the moon through the window.  I kept
glancing back and forth from the TV to the window in utter amazement.

It was also at that time when I reckoned how very old I'd be in the year
2000.
