Retro: North Carolina Saturday, December 16, 1972

APOLLO 17: The last Apollo mission starts its journey home.
Astronauts Cernan, Evans, and Schmitt are scheduled to
leave lunar orbit at 6:31 PM; at 6:46 PM there is a command-
module view of the moon. All this will no doubt pre-empt
regular programming on ABC and CBS stations, and air as part
of "NBC Nightly News".

That was a sad, tragic affair. He and his wife, despite his fame and income, remained simple mountain folk to the end, with a nice car being about their only extravagance. They also retained a typical backwoods distrust of banks, and hid bundles of cash around their home, a fact that the burglars were probably aware of. IIRC, it was family friend "Grandpa" Jones who found their bodies when he went to check on them.
