Do you remember the "summer of 1962"

It was forty years ago this month when astronaut Neil Armstrong walked on the moon. Seven years earlier, in my fiction novel, Billy's Victory, the main character, Billy Ray Reynolds, traveled with his grandfather to the old fishing hole on the outskirts of the town of Johnsonville,while overhead -- deep into space, astronaut John Glenn orbited the earth. It was the summer of 1962. Do you remember what you were doing on that special summer day?
