Table talk when Larry Geiger was a kid on Cape Canaveral

One of my Dad's cameras. He mostly worked on the real-time analog cameras around the pad,
but his group also performed service on the film cameras. The film guys would actually load the film and set the exposures. After the first Saturn V launch they found one of the pad cameras out by the beach. Another one was never located. My Dad installed the video switcher in the LCC and maintained and supported it for the Apollo launches. The subjects that came up when my dad and his friends sat around talking were different than what most kids of that time heard.
