CINCINNATI (AP) - Lunar pioneers plan to attend a private service in Ohio for astronaut Neil Armstrong, following an event to announce a children's health fund in his honor.
   
The first man to walk on the moon died last week at age 82. His family scheduled the private service today in Cincinnati. A public memorial service is being planned for early September in Washington, D.C.
