Where were you 35 years ago tonight?

Friends tell me that on the west coast, the moon walk started at 7:56 pm.

I called my dad last night to tell him that I have a vague memory of him waking me and my younger brother up -- we were 6 1/2 and 5 1/2 -- to see the moon walk. We lived in Seattle by then. He was very surprised I remembered! I remember not understanding how important it was, but definitely understanding that my dad thought it was a very big deal. That I remembered ever afterward.
