History

I just saw a program on the History Channel about the first head of NASA, Werner Von Braun. That is a well known name in our area. He and his talented group of scientists settled here in Huntsville and made their mark on the world as well as on this area.

As a designer I have been in many homes and have worked on some houses that his team lived in in the late fifties and early sixties. I knew there was history but I had no idea just how critical the migration of these German scientists was to the future and how much they shaped our community. I wonder why teachers don't teach about these historic events that would make history so real to the students. I feel that there is a huge missed opportunity to spur the interest of students who may become more interested in history or space or other life altering topics associated with this part of our local history. Too bad.

I have been working with husband trying to help him meet a deadline to get a room finished so I have been slacking on my own work. I'm trying to get caught up now before leaving on the trip to Orlando on Saturday.
I'm still having some trouble getting my software to be compatible with my old files and I have a presentation for tomorrow. Why is nothing ever easy?
Got to go.
