Sad to say I cannot remember the launch, most likely watched it.

As for the landing and Armstrong's first steps, I was in a hotel room in Lock Haven, Pennsylvania watching the landing on a black and white TV. I was waiting for the weather to improve enough the next day so I could ferry a new Piper Pawnee crop duster from the factory back home.

It was the most exciting thing I have ever seen, before or since.
