My “Baby” ! Mickey and I went to Michigan State University to see my oldest grandson graduate this May.. I am also a Spartan Graduate in Physics and taught Astronomy using the Abram’s Planetarium on campus. They were closed but I knocked on the door and the current director answered and welcomed me inside. They were delighted to show me the current facility and give Mickey and me a private show! They also gave us the display location of the projector, my baby, that I used in the late 60’s. This was timely as I am half way to goal in my latest project.
