My parents had taken me to see the actual Launch of Apollo 11 but a day prior to the event we were touring Hollywood.
Well I was only 3 y.o and happened to stray from the main group.
I ended up in the back lot in Paramount and there on stage 8, I stumbled onto Neil and Buzz "practicing" the landing !

Wow they offered me some candy and asked me not to tell anyone.
They were very nice guys indeed and it was fun to watch it being played back on TV a few days later.

So I guess I was the first person to see Neil step onto the moon......
