The Historical Electronics Museum, located at 1745 West Nursery Road in Linthicum, hosted the first-ever reunion of the Westinghouse Electric Corp. team that designed and built the Apollo 11 lunar camera that recorded man's historic first steps on the moon on 20 July 1969.

The ceremony took place on the 36th anniversary of the historic moon mission on Wednesday, 20 July 2005 at 19:00 in the museum's Pioneer Hall. Present was Stan Lebar, program manager of the Lunar Camera team, along with manufacturing manager Joe Dollard and engineering managers Larkin Niemeyer and Lenny Svenson. All four discussed their roles in developing this ground-breaking technology. On display in Pioneer Hall was the black and white Apollo camera and monitor, Apollo color camera and monitor, and objects from Stan Lebar's personal collection, including a portion of the color camera recovered from the moon.
