Look what I found! Compare this to Megan's blog and her pictures from the Kennedy Space Center. I remember seeing the front page of the Des Moines Register (among all the other front pages) on the wall at the space center and thinking Grandpa probably would have saved that since we lived in Des Moines at the time.
Today since it is too hot to do much else, I decided to retrieve some of the papers I brought home from Grandma's house and go through them in our air-conditioned bedroom. Lo and behold, here is what I came across. Grandma has written across the top of it "of great interest to Henry".
Also of interest on the back of this page is an article about whether Ted Kennedy will be charged in the accident on Chappaquiddick that occurred two days before the moon landing. Didn't realize these event happened about the same time.

Neat. You should have it framed and preserved.
And happy birthday to your first grandchild. Geez grandma! :-)
Cool!!
I just compared the two pictures - the picture on the right above the fold is different - and so is the format of the section just below that. But pretty identical. I'm glad I took a picture at KSC. Or I'm glad I made Chad take a picture. I don't remember which.
Did you know I have met Buzz Aldrin. Don's sister is married to a guy named Adam. And Adam's aunt is married to Buzz. So basically he is their uncle. There is a story he tells about someone coming up to him and saying, "you didn't really walk on the moon, it was all a hoax." And I guess he was tired of people saying that, so he punched him.
I like this story.
