Matter of Opinion

Forty years later

This probably isn't the first time you've thought about it, but what do you remember about the moment Armstrong stepped on the moon. Me, I was with my wife and a few other people in Sue and Charlie Mitchell's apartment in an old house on Corbin Park. (Sue was a fellow reporter for the Spokane Daily Chronicle where I'd started work about three months earlier.) I seem to recall a few of us went out and ran a lap or two around the park while waiting for the big moment. That's fuzzy, though. Mainly I remember being awed by what I was seeing.



A Matter of Opinion is really a matter of three opinions – those held by the people responsible for the opinion pages of The Spokesman-Review. Check in regularly to find out what they’re up to, what they think and where they differ and to joust with them if you want.
