Congratulatory Call


Suburban Chicago, July 20, 1969. My Dad sometimes photographed views on the television screen that weren't restricted to my childhood crushes. Here's an image of President Nixon congratulating the astronauts during the moonwalk.

Cool! Approximately 100 miles south of you, my dad and I made an 8mm home movie of that exact same event.

Ah! Wouldn't it be neat for someone to start a blog and ask everyone with images from that moment to post them on the site next year, for the 45th anniversary?
