LOL! well, he moved to a "farm"...probably mostly for the isolation. don't know how much actual "farming" he's done. (just read his biography recently.) He doesn't like attention, and he can't get away from it. too bad, really.
for many years, he was an engineering prof. at Ohio state.
Wasn't it UC??
Yeah the farmer thing was an exaggeration. He owned land next to us and my dad did talk to him in our driveway a couple of times. Nice guy. What reminded me of this is that Neil A lost a young child...and it just wrecked him..."colored" his whole life thereafter.
I would guess that he would trade walking on the moon in an instant for his child back.
