Time Frame I.V.

[Henry]

Laura, I too was at a camp that didn't let us watch the moon landing/walk.  Huh!  

I was supposed to be the first asstronaut on the moon, GD it!

Speaking of summer camps, any other P-listers attend Ford Foundation sponsored for supposedly gifted kids SAAC or go to work-camp Lincoln Farm?

My mother was a political activist, so I got taken to Ban the Bomb, Anti-war and Women's Lib demos.  Being born in '57, I didn't have any other exciting '60-ish lifestyle experiences 'til I got to college.

I'm surprised no one's mentioned the '60s as The Space Age.  I was in sleepaway camp when the astronauts landed on the moon.  The damn counselors wouldn't let us stay up to watch it on TV.  I remember weeping in my bunk and fantasizing that the lunar landing would be called off at the last minute:  "Wait, we've decided there's no way we can walk on the moon without bringing along an 11-year-old girl, whom we'll pick at random..."
