Robert Picardo, an actor who most famously played the gym teacher on Wonder Years and the doctor on Star Trek Voyager, posted on Twitter today a series of tweets describing where he was when the moon landing occurred in 1969. His moon landing experience starts with him cutting the roast beef at the Woolworth’s cafeteria at the Plymouth Meeting Mall:

I caught the K bus home and am pleased, even more now than I was then, that my $1.65 per hour job (at a task I have yet to master) did not prevent me from sitting with my family . . . pic.twitter.com/MdpPlRTQ8E
