Peasley: Armstrong once took small step in DeKalb
Newspaper headlines late last month reported the death of Neil Armstrong, commander of a two-man crew that landed on the moon on July 20, 1969.
Armstrong’s name revives never-to-be-forgotten memories of meeting the astronaut in charge of that first moon landing.
It was February 1980 when Armstrong headlined the DeKalb County Farm Bureau annual meeting. The moment Armstrong stepped into the auditorium, his demeanor and quiet approach instantly demonstrated who was in charge.
