The United States, and indeed the world, has lost one of the great heroes of the last two generations. Carol Held Knight (photos below) survives humanity’s first man to walk on the moon, as do two of his three children and first wife Janet Elizabeth Shearon, known to family and friends as Jan Armstrong. Neil Armstrong’s wife Carol was married to the astronaut for the last eighteen years of his storied life after he divorced his first wife Janet in 1994 after almost 40 years of marriage.
