Hi all,
WAMALUG and NCLUG were asked to display at the National Air and Space Museum in
Washington, DC for Universe Day, which fell on Saturday April 16th.
Members from both WAMALUG and NCLUG brought in Moonbase modules,
spacecraft
aircraft
contraptions
building
but most of all, people
Many thanks to the staff of the National Air and Space Museum, most notably
Mychelene Giampaoli and David DeVorkin. They provided us with the support needed
to make the event happen, and also some fun stuff!
Also thanks to the members of both WAMALUG and NCLUG who participated:
Jeff Stembel
Margaret Keys
Tony Perez
Dan Rubin
Gareth Bowler
Michael Harrod
Derek Schin
Philip Moyer
Rich Schamus
Linda Mateo
Fradel Gonzales
Rafe Donohue (and family)
Magnus Lauglo
Galen Fairbanks
Todd Thuma
and Sabrina Gravatt
Thanks also to Kunie DeVorkin, who built this wonderful model of the Museum, but
could not attend because of illness:
There were models built by others who could not attend:
Mike Walsh
Geoff Gray
Adrian Drake
There were also models provided by Shane Larson and Felix Greco, but because of
an incident that happened that I will explain, did not get displayed. My
apologies to them.
I need to extend the most thanks to Christina Hitchcock. I was involved in a car
accident (I was rear-ended 3 blocks away by a fellow club member) and to
compound things, I locked myself out of my car with the motor running! So I was
stuck at the site until a locksmith came, which was 2.5 hours later!!
Christina stepped in and took care of the organizing and made things work, and
while I got things running before the event, she actually took care of the
event.
If you want to see pictures of the display, you can go

This was a great event, and I’m already hearing that there is interest in
another display, so thanks to everyone!
