My presentation at the Monroeville Public Library on July 11, 2019 went extremely well. Over 30 people showed up at a time when severe weather promised to keep people away.
I started at 7:00pm and talked about an hour and a half, and then the audience asked me questions for an additional 20 minutes. The post-lecture discussions continued until the library staff almost had to throw all of out at the 9:00pm closing time!
The audience was quite interested and very engaging. I was glad to see both old friends and a number of new faces. One individual even donated to me various Apollo 11 memorabilia she had accumulated as she knew that I would best appreciate these items. They included a company brochure on how GE Engineering materials had been used on the Apollo space suits and spacecraft, a 45 record by Philco called "Voices from the Moon" and a set of Commemorative Postage Stamps for the 25th Anniversary of the first moon landing.
My many thanks for all the people who attended this meeting. Special thanks goes to Mark Hudson, Director of Adult Programming at the Monroeville Public Library, who asked me to give this talk and made it all happen. He also was the one who arranged my talk on this very subject 10 years ago (see old poster).
I plan to transcribe my talk and post it on this blog as I did before, but it may take a little time -- of which I have too little right now.
