My two older brothers and I, Bob, John & friend Steve Frappier at Cape Kennedy the day before Apollo X launched, May 17th 1969. This was the final full dress rehearsal mission for the moon landing that would take place in July. We were only one & half miles from the mighty Saturn V. My favorite of all the rockets

Older but still a kid. Here seen launching my scale model Saturn V

On a much smaller scale, my first model rocket launch at home in Bradenton, Florida. We lived here during the year my father was getting his Vietnam experience.
