I was 10 years-old and totally involved with the mission. Armstrong
was my hero. I kept a scrapbook (still have it). There is an
interesting Italian angle: Collins was born in Rome. His dad was with
the US Embassy. Glad to see Buzz is doing well. There is a great story
in the book Moondust about his dealings with an obnoxious reporter. I
think Buzz handled it perfectly.
Unique broadcast from WA2XMN on 42.8 MHz on the 19th of June 2025

While we are all familiar with the 88 to 108 MHz FM broadcast band today,
its origins can be traced back to 1936 with the very first experimental
station...

This is how Buzz "handled" it ;-)
