Apollo 11 40th Anniversary celebrations – Tuesday 21 July 2009
From John Saxon:
“On Tuesday 21 July 2009 at lunch time, it will be exactly 40 years since Neil Armstrong first stepped onto the Lunar surface. We (the ex-Apollo workers and families) intend to celebrate the event with a multi-day reunion culminating with a lunch ‘on the day on the hour’.
We already have people from the U.S.A. and U.K who intend to come, as well as from around Australia. Realistically this may be the last occasion that a major Apollo anniversary reunion will be organised by those who were actively worked on the project. So keep that time free!”
