If you are a reader of my blog, you will know that this is only the second time that I have used "In Memorium" in the title of a post. Many others have deserved such recognition in the period between that November 2011 item on Andy Rooney and this piece on the passing of American astronaut Neil Armstrong and I apologize for not being as vigilant as I should concerning my submissions.
In that previous post, I said I would use that slug individuals "deserving thanks for their contributions to journalism and/or the media." You might be scratching your head right now trying to see the connection between the Ohio astronaut and those two areas but, for me and scores of millions of people around the world, his July 1969 achievement was the first news story that we can actually remember happening in our lifetimes.
