Neil Armstrong in Dublin

When did he last appear in the US???

Not long ago he appeared at the dedication of a veteran's memorial in
Mason Ohio (five minutes from where I live). Unfortunately, there
wasn't any publicity before the event for Armstrong being there, let
alone giving a speech. Here's a story done by the Cincinnati Enquirer
(don't let the domain name fool you):

Mason dedicates memorial to U.S. veterans of 10 wars

If it says "This is not spam!", it's surely a lie.

Jeff,
You must be in my neck of the woods. I saw that article last weekend and
thought the same thing about publicity. I would have been there if I'd have
known. By the way I'm in West Chester.

WRT the "domain name" comment, I ran across a lovely comment in a book
on Mars; it was mentioning Mariner 9, and an innocent young Welsh
geologist - somewhat, as you may guess, bemused by California - working
on it. One of the features they'd given a name to was some odd straight
lines on the southern cap, calling it the "Inca City"; late one night,
he got a phone call from a journalist asking if this was a real city.

Out of the question, he replied. The journalist kept prodding - well,
hypothetically, could there be a city under the icecap we can't see?
Eventually, he admitted that it was perhaps hypothetically possible that
there could be cities we couldn't detect on Mars, although it was
staggeringly unlikely, but it couldn't be *absolutely* ruled out.

But, you know, he wasn't too concerned about this. The journalist was a
nice guy, and the paper seemed prestigious - the US had a lot of papers,
there was no way he could know them all, but he'd encountered the
/Philadelphia Enquirer/, and it stood to reason the /National Enquirer/
was going to be an even more respectable journal...
