Long before astronaut Neil Armstrong was walking on the moon, he was walking to class at Purdue University.
Upon returning to earth, Armstrong maintained ties with his alma mater in West Lafayette. For instance, in 1975, he served as grand marshal of the Purdue Grand Prix, a large go-kart race held annually at the school.
And it’s in this context that a resident of Huntington County, Mike Brennan, met Armstrong.

It’s the first time that Maj. Normalene Daniels has landed in a new assignment that she didn’t have to “clean up.”
The Salvation Army officer started her new deployment at the Huntington branch on June 25 and in the past 26 years she’s been an officer, she has always been assigned to a new place that had a lot of remedial work to do. Not so in Huntington, she says.

Members of the Huntington County Community School Corporation Board of School Trustees learned that one class at the high school experienced a success this past school year, leading to doubling the number of students taking it next fall.
Former Huntington County Sheriff Terry Stoffel, who now is the instructor of the criminal justice class, said he learned nearly as much as his students during his first class. Students previously attended a criminal justice class at Heartland Career Center in Wabash.
