Julian was a very sweet boy. We were next door neighbors as kids and even though he lived right next door he had to go to Humbolt School and I went to Franklin until my family moved when I was in the 6th grade. He was one of four boys and I jumped right in the dirt with them. We spent many hours playing hide and go seek, swinging on a tire swing, playing softball in a emply lot down the street and lots of bike riding. I ran into his mother just a few weeks ago and told her what was going on and she was so pleased that we are remembering him. He left us much too soon and when I remember my childhood antics I often think of him.
I was in the Black Knights with Julian who was a terrific soprano bugle. Later, I was in the Air Force and Julian was in the Navy, a pilot. We spent July 20, 1969 at my apartment in Newport News, VA together with our wives watching the landing of Apollo 11 on the moon. Julian had just purchased a Jaguaur XKE. A very cool car.
So every time I see or hear something about Apollo 11, the first thing to come to mind is Julian Moon. A very cool guy.

Julian and I were in the Black Knights Drum & Bugle Corp together. Lost contact with him but I understand he was killed in the Vietnam War.
