50th Anniversary of Man on the Moon

 I spent all of last year working on my book. As of July, I thought it was ready for launch but I was unaware of all the steps ahead. I talked to my son on the 11 anniversary of his death in July and I was surprised by his message. I needed to search but I did have a copy of this magazine although it was a week early on the date, after 50 years I think it is close enough, don't you?

Love you mom, I have not been "gone" for 11 years. We have lived differently than before for 11 years of your time. Fifty years ago an astronaut walked on the moon - everyone celebrated. I want you to look for the old magazine you saved, its date I think is July 29, 1969!! - A day f celebration then. A wonderful memory now. Why are we any different? I blasted off, launched from earth. It was another "a small step for man, a giant leap for mankind". From this small step from me and your vigilantly looking, listening and informing from a "command post" on earth. We can help others to raise their eyes in wonder and question what is? And keep others interests alive and aware, there is yet much to be learned and explored. I launched from earth, now others can watch and be part of the experience of my mission. Not to be "gone" from view - to be part of the "greater view" we are all part of. The book "Launch" is exciting and a go,  Love you mom.
