At last---proof!!!!

well, i FINALLY found the letter that AXO nationals sent me. here is the proof. here is an excerpt:

January 26, 1999

Dear Cash78mere (haha),

I have enclosed a photocopy of the article regarding Neil Armstrong's trip to the moon. I must tell you that Jan is no longer married to Neil which we learned from the media a few years ago and she has not remarried unless she has not told us her new name. We have no other records or reports on file.

Loyally,
Records and Recognition

***********************
here is some from the article she sent me: it is dated Fall, 1969:

July 24, 1969 must have been a day ringed in gold for Jan Armstrong, wife of NASA astronaut Neil A. Armstrong. That was the day HER HUSBAND RETURNED FROM THE MOON. (caps are mine) .......................Jan and Neil have known for over a year that he would be landing on the moon and during that time Neil has been gone for extended periods training for the flight.......For us, the Alpha Chis of Houston, there are no words to express our feelings, but perhaps the words sent on the card enclosed with the red carnations sent to Janet Armstrong from Houston alumnae comes closest. "All our love and pride are with you." I am sure that is true for all of Alpha Chi Omega.............

here is more from another article:
AXO has exceptionally good relations with astronauts. Going on the Apollo 12 moon flight in Nov. will be Lt. Col. Richard F. Gordon Jr. whose wife is Barbara Field GOrdon, Univ. of Washington. Barbara was pictured in the winter 1966-67 LYRE after Astronaut GOrdon had flown on Gemini Two. Another astronaut, Joe Percival Allen, is the husband of Bonnie Jo Darling Allen, Alpha. One of the first 7 astronauts, Lt. Comdr. M. Scott Carpenter, is the son of the late Florence Noxon Carpenter, Nu-Univ. of Colorado. Scott Carpenter also had 4 AXO aunts.
