Small world again. I was in boot on Nimitz Island (also San Diego for those who don't know) when Armstrong and Aldrin made their walk.

I was at MCRD in San Diego at the time, we had no clue they had even launched to go to the moon. It wasn't until they were orbiting that we even knew they were up there!
