Headline from the Daily Princetonian, April 10, 1972. In the story, Charles “Pete” Conrad ’53 is quoted as saying, “Admittedly I was always the dumbest guy in class.” “Dumb” or not, Conrad was the third human to walk on the moon as part of NASA’s Apollo 12 mission in 1969. At the time, he quipped, “That might have been a short step for Neil [Armstrong] but it was a damn long one for me.”
