Résumé

When Astronaut Neil Armstrong took the very first step onto the moon's surface in July 1969, it was the biggest television event of the 20th century. About 650 million earthlings tuned into this historic event. Fifty years later I learned that my wife and Neil Armstrong share a distant 5th great-grandfather (David Kennedy, Sr.) who immigrated to America from Ireland in 1726. This book highlights Armstrong's pioneering spirit that descends from his Scots-Irish roots and his Native American heritage that can be traced back to famous leaders of the Seneca Wolf Clan.

While working at Florida Air Academy, Wilson wrote articles for several popular publications including the Vincent Curtis Educational Register and the South Florida Parenting Magazine. At Oak Ridge Military Academy, Wilson co-wrote and co-directed two teen reality shows that appeared on national television (Nickelodeon & ABC Family Channel).
