         From what I understand, he all but went into seclusion as 
soon as he was able.

         I can't blame him -- can you imagine the hordes of people 
who want to talk to, or touch the "first man on the moon"?  I'm sure 
there are people out there who would want just a scrap of material 
from his shirt or whatever, too.  I wonder if he got so caught up in 
getting to the moon that he never considered what life would be after 
he returned.
