They came here by sea and by sail. The Scottish Armstrongs, the family of his father, came to the New World in the 1730s. One hundred years later, Neil Armstrong's grandfather spent his $200 inheritance on a 187-acre farm outside of Wapakoneta. It was there, in the front room of that River Road farmhouse, that his parents, Stephen and Viola, marrie...
The Armstrong family moved a dozen times during Neil's childhood. His father was an auditor for the entire state of Ohio, after all. They settled in Wapakoneta, a hamlet of 7,000 people, in 1944, just as Neil was about to enter high school. He had a dream, reoccurring, as a boy. In it, he could hover above the Earth, just by holding his breath. He ...
They called him the Wizard of Wapakoneta. His real name was Jacob Zint, and his real job was as an engineer at Westinghouse in Lima. He lived just blocks from the Armstrongs in town. And behind his brick home, he built an observatory on top of the garage. It was a domed rotunda that turned on rollerskate wheels. With it, Zint forecast the weather. ...
His work didn't just speak for itself. It spoke for him. But he was so quiet in his high school classrooms that teachers might not notice he was there. Until, of course, he turned in his perfect test answers. Eventually, Neil ran out of tests to take. He aimed for a U.S. Navy scholarship, but he needed certain prerequisites that Blume High School d...
Twenty-three hours. Twenty-three hours of sweeping aisles and stocking shelves and hoisting deliveries. At 40-cents an hour at the drugstore, that’s how long it took to earn just one hour of flying instruction. Neil saved the cents, and he worked the hours in the mornings before and the afternoons after high school. Still, he asked for an hour off ...
He started out as a passenger. He was six, and he was supposed to be in Sunday school. Neil was with his father near Warren. They saw an airfield on the way to church. A pilot offered a ride in a monoplane for a couple dimes. His father had the money, and he had a son who always seemed to be sticky with model airplane glue. They stopped, and the co...
Armstrong was 38 when he walked on the moon. Astronaut was his third job title, actually, after Navy pilot and research test pilot. In 1970, a year after the Apollo 11 mission, he retired from NASA and returned to Ohio. He next bought about 200 acres of land, with a 125-year-old brick farmhouse, in Lebanon, a town of about 13,000. He raised cattle....
For every class, for some nine years, he drove 40 miles from that farmhouse to the University of Cincinnati campus. In Rhodes Hall, he answered to Professor Armstrong. And when he explained, in red pen – and in great detail – the correct answer to his tests in Aircraft Performance and Introduction to Aeronautics classes, he signed "N.A." in the mar...
His home here was his last. In his final years, Armstrong still kept an office in Lebanon, even after he moved just north of Cincinnati in 1994. It was small, unmarked, across from a used car lot and next to a dentist's office. He answered his mail there. His letters came by the hundreds. He wrote replies congratulating a Boy Scout on his Eagle Awa...
