OK, these updates are coming in a completely random order now. On October 27th Sara and I braved the cold to watch the dedication of the Neil Armstrong Hall of Engineering.

Because of Purdue's long history with the space program sixteen astronauts attended the dedication including:

• Neil Armstrong
• John Blaha
• Mark Brown
• Eugene Cernan
• Richard Covey
• Drew Feustel
• Greg Harbaugh
• Michael McCulley
• Gary Payton
• Mark Polansky
• Jerry Ross
• Loren Shriver
• Janice Voss
• Charles Walker
• Don Williams
• David Wolf

It was moving to see so many parents holding their children on their shoulders so they could see the Astronauts.

Gene Cernan, the most recent man on the moon; Dr. France Cordova, Purdue's new President; and Neil Armstrong, the first man on the moon spoke.
