As the world was waiting to see Neil Armstrong's historic walk on the moon, we were making some history of our own. We were called WIMA-TV at the time, and we helped bring the world to Wapakoneta through a live remote from the front steps of Armstrong's parents' home following the launch of the Apollo 11 mission. Stephen and Viola Armstrong allowed us to put a lot of equipment in their yard, including a large remote tower and a converted moving van, that we used to house the equipment for the remote.
