Once in a Blue Moon

Memory of the moon

One of my nieces was born July 31, 1969, in Rome. My sister and I were staying in a pensione awaiting her birth, and the moon landing was on TV. I heard a commotion, got up, saw what was on TV, was exhausted after a minute or two and returned to my bed.
It's like JFK for me. I'll always remember where I was for the moon landing.

Commander Neil Armstrong, left, was laid to rest August 31, 2012, the night of a blue moon, a fitting honor for the first man on the moon.
