Our Zimes Friday, June 13, 1975 Today Marks Tenth Anniversary of First Trip to Moon. THE ROVING REPORTER The other day when 1 was catching a bus home from work. 1 ran into the nationally famous guide of the L nited States, Ruth Cronje. You remember, si le was the girl who misguided the Prime Minister of M’oody- ville to the Everglades. He was on his way to Slachington. I hid her good-bye and hopped on the bus. 1 grabbed a seat only to he sitting next to New England’s famous chef, John Coakley. He was reading the unabridged book. Mow to Cook W ith Sher- ry. The Inis came to my stop, and I hopped off. 1 still had to walk one mile. It was a brisk day, so I turned up my collar and proceeded to walk. Let me tell you : no sooner had I walked ten steps than a fellow walked up to me selling walky talkies. I recognized him as Richard Bartku. He gave me a salestalk, and I bought a dozen. I figured I could use them when I play Santa this year. I speeded up my pace, and soon I was on the corner of my street. A well-dressed girl was standing there. She had a desperate look on her face. 1 walked over to her and asked if I might help. She said her name was Carol Mildred and that she was lost and looking for a policeman. Just then, Carol Cram, our woman police chief, happened along. I gave her a whistle, and she joined us. It seems that the two girls were long lost friends and pro- ceeded, as women do, to catch up on the news. I made a hasty exit. I arrived home and seated myself in my favorite chair and took out my pipe. Thinking hack over this day, I came to the conclusion that People are 1 ' unny.” A gala celebration is being held in North Reading all this week in commemoration of the tenth anniversary of that his- toric flight to the moon. A dec- ade ago at 9:56 A.M. on June 10 the great event took place. Let us review the scene of this event. As the famous missile (named after the greatest foot- ball team of all time, the Green PJornets), was ready to he launched from North Read- ing’s Scientific Plant, the exub- erant Bob Tropea, father of this projectile: and Norman Woods, head engineer ; looked on. Bob is accredited with coming up with the original idea ; and so it was that he and his eyelashes became famous. Norman’s ex- tensive study and “knowhow’’ have made him the only one capable of constructing this ab- stract idea of Bob’s. Gail Kenney sat nervously it the controls. Incidentally, she was the only one interested and well enough trained for such an interplanetary job. ( )f course, the two financiers. Kenny Eisenhaure and Andy Ricardo, who reside in the “Beverly Mills’’ of North Read- ing. were on hand for the event. Kenny, as we all know, made his millions by working as a live model for the Ricardo Mat- tress Co., Inc. Last, but not least, we can’t forget Bob Stracuzzi, the out- standing mechanic on this flight. His new idea of fasten- ing the nut and bolt revolution- ized mechanistry. C)nl} ' a few of the thousands of applicants for this first flight were chosen to he passengers. Among these were Joann Ives- ter, who had been chosen Miss l n i verse of 1965, and Jack Creilson because of his great campaign that won Joann the title. Also Jack wished to re- turn and spread the knowledge to the world about his outer- stratospheric adventures. The passengers were attend- ed bv a very capable stewardess, Sharon I ' owler. Her capability is due to her ten years of ex- tensive study with the reward of a doctor’s degree in steward- ship. The great feat which was more successful than most “firsts’’ opened the way for space travel, which is so com- mon todav. 27
