Neil Armstrong has passed away...

[Dave S.]

Sad news today.  Neil Armstrong, the first person to step foot on the moon, has passed away.  From Yahoo News: "Neil Armstrong was a quiet self-described nerdy engineer who became a global hero when as a steely-nerved pilot he made "one giant leap for mankind"...

"For those who may ask what they can do to honor Neil, we have a simple request. Honor his example of service, accomplishment and modesty, and the next time you walk outside on a clear night and see the moon smiling down at you, think of Neil Armstrong and give him a wink."

Thanks, but I didn't say it.  It's a quote from the Statement from the Family of Neil Armstrong (see the link I posted above).

I briefly met Neil Armstrong at the Telluride airport a few years ago. Not sure if anyone on the boards is familiar with KTEX but the FBO and airline passenger terminal are in the same building. I was there in the FBO waiting to pick up some passengers and he had flown in on the airlines. He was there to dedicate the new runway at KTEX. He had walked into the FBO side of the building where I was fortunate enough to have been able to shake his hand and say hi.. Though brief it was an honor to have met him.
