Physics 1993

Year of Memory: 2006
The museum has always held a special place in my heart. As a 4th grader on a school field trip, I correctly identified the Allosaurus not being a T-Rex during our guided tour. Maybe it was this early sense of whimsical pride that drove me towards a love of science. Ten plus years on and I became a graduate of the University of Michigan in Physics. As a father, I wanted to somehow share the University of Michigan with my two young daughters, teach them, let them explore, and so in April 2006, we spent a wonderful day at the museum. Who knows, maybe my daughters will graduate college someday in a science and think back to the day with their dad at the museum. It is for the ever changing future, and the traditions of the past, the museum & the University are so woven into the fabric of so many lives.
