Early this year, famed astronaut and the last man to walk the moon, Eugene Cernan, passed away. He actually has a close connection to the community I grew up in.

He graduated from my High School, then known as Proviso Township High School, in Maywood, IL. Also, there is a space and science center named after him at Triton College, a local community college in Melrose Park, IL, near Maywood.

One of my colleagues at FiOS1 gave me his perspective on Eugene Cernan. Take a look.
