It was in some auditorium in one of the other buildings and I remember my father (a big airplane fan) asked Paul if he could sit in on the class. It was with a wink Paul would say “if you are very quiet¸ sure, you can sit in the back”. And with that, a guy who was an early mail pilot & witnessed the Wright brothers demo flight at College Park would go on to show us how to fold paper air planes…..I’ll hope the kids today still get the same charge my dad & I got.
