Buzz Aldrin On Neil Armstrong's Death

[lady_borg]

I am very saddened to learn of the passing of Neil Armstrong today. Neil and I trained together as technical partners but were also good friends who will always be connected through our participation in the mission of Apollo 11.

I was at that homecoming too, I think - where he spoke in front of the building with Gene Cernan?

ETA: Here's a photo (taken last night, according to Purdue) of the statue in front of the Neil Armstrong Hall of Engineering:

Might be--I didn't go to the building dedication. I was just at the football game, and he came out and started the silly "Shout" thing.

That's a lot what my friend's pic looked like, except his was taken during the day from another angle, so "Neil Armstrong Hall of Engineering" was in the background. :(

ETA: This is essentially the pic my friend posted.
