"50th Anniversary of Apollo 11" Community Recollections

Where:
La Salle Public Library
 
When
Wednesday, July 31, 2019

In honor or the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 historic journey, the La Salle Public Library is in search of community memories about the first Moon landing, Neil Armstrong's first steps on the Lunar surface, Buzz Aldrin's Lunar exploration and the lonely journey of Michael Collins, who, all alone in the darkness of Space, orbited the Moon while his fellow astronauts explored the surface of the Moon below.  

Were you one of the estimated 650 million people who watched the televised images of that mission>  What do you remember about the event?  Let us hear from you!  To share your memories, send an email to Rachael at rblomquist@lasalle.lib.il.us or stop by the Library to fill out a printed form.  Please share your memories by Wednesday, July 31st.
