I was born just four months before Neil Armstrong’s
historic walk on the moon. A few years later, my Dad attended school at the University of Cincinnati at the same time Armstrong was a professor of aeronautical engineering. My Dad said people kept stealing Armstrong's nameplate from his office door, forcing the school to eventually paint his name on the door.
There are a lot of tributes on TV and in
newspapers today about the amazing life of Neil A. Armstrong. But my favorite
story about Armstrong came from my daughter, Carin, who wrote a story about him
as part of a third-grade project. It was one of the first school projects I got
to work on with her. I remember her rolling her eyes when I was so excited to
take her to the library to look for books about Armstrong. She had already done
some research on Armstrong on the Internet, and didn’t see a reason to go to
the library. But I dragged her along, and hopefully she remembers it when she’s
older.
