I often found a package in the mail from her with “Apollo stuff” like models , mission patches , stamps , magazines , books etc..
My Dad reckons she met Neil Armstrong but we all did , didn’t we ?
It was an amazing time !!

I was around 10 years old at this time and anything about Apollo was like gold, so getting a package like this would have been better than Christmas!
The Apollo moon landings shaped my perception of the future and my interest in astronomy and science. I have grandkids now, they will be around that age when the first Artemis mission lands on the moon, I wonder what it will be to them.
