Marv and I have dinner at the Holiday Inn the evening of
July 15, 1969. I go back then to the Apollo 11 News Center to write a story for
the Michigan Daily and the College Press Service (CPS). The Daily this morning published
a preview article about Apollo 11, which we had written earlier; it had also been
sent out on CPS’s wire network. I work a couple of hours on an article about
the preparations for tomorrow’s launch using a portable typewriter and then dictate
it via a pay telephone to the Daily for
tomorrow’s edition (no cell phones, faxes or internet). I can’t get through on
the phone to CPS. I drive back to the Sea Missile motel to try to get some
sleep—we hope tomorrow will be the big day and I set the alarm for 4:30 a.m.
