I was highly interested in the space program as a child. I wrote a 20 page biography on Armstrong in the 7th grade. He visited our school during my 8th grade year, and my teacher had him sign my essay and gave it back to me. I was also able to meet him at that time...he was one of my greatest heroes at that time, and even connected me with John Glen and a number of astronauts in the space shuttle program.

I ran into him a number of years later, about 10 years ago, when I was dining in Cincinnati at a Skyline Chili...I spoke with him for about 15 minutes then, and nobody else around us recognized him. He seemed to like it that way.
