That's type of guy he was. Never wanted to be called a hero, didn't want the limelight. Being so humble made him an even bigger hero to me and a lot of other people.
I watched him "touch down" with a college buddy. We had just graduated 2 months earlier. We both had goose bumps. Young kids grew up with the knowledge that we'd been to the moon and it wasn't a big deal. Folks in my age bracket (68) were totally in awe of the whole space program and the moon landings especially.
