  1. Person: Neil Armstrong
    Event: Triangle Shirtwaist Factory catches on fire (March 25, 1911)
    Object: Apple Pie

    I am most interested in apple pie because it is something that most people do not think of. I also think there are many ways to explore this idea and it would be interesting to see these ways.
