Neil Armstrong--A True and Modest Hero


I was driving by campus today and went by the statue of Neil Armstrong outside Armstrong Hall.  I pulled over and my daughter (a 6th grader who was with me) and I spent a few quiet moments with the great man.  It is wonderful to see how many people have taken the time to bring something to the statue.  It was one small step forNeil and a huge cosmic leap for the rest of us!  Thank you, Mr. Armstrong, for showing us how it should be done!
