Ian,
I too really appreciate your story for I have been an Apollo fan all my life. There was something inspirational about what NASA achieved in those days (and not just because I can remember seeing Armstrong set foot on the Moon when I was only 12 years old). It leaves me angry when I hear about the people who profit by pushing the Moon hoax thing (I'm sorry Aldrin didn't break that guy's jaw when he decked him!)
I recently purchased a book called Moondust. Basically the author set out to interview all the Apollo moonwalkers after he realised that of the 12 that walked, there were only 9 still alive. He mentioned there may come a time when there is nobody left alive that has walked on the Moon (the way NASA is going that might be true) - I find that a sobering thought. I've only read a few pages so far so am not necessarily recommending it but it did bring back happy memories.
Regards
Glenn D
