Flying on the Tin Goose
By Kathleen Walls
Ever
wish you could go back to the early days of flight? Well you can. I
recently flew on one of the first passenger planes ever built. It
was a treat where I learned a lot. For instance, we all associate
Henry Ford and his Model T with making auto travel available to the
general public but did you know he was a pioneer in air flight as
well? Read more
Freedom of the Press
Revoked?

I must have missed something on the news while I was

How often do you cry in a museum? If you can
visit a museum with the Anne Frank: A History for Today exhibit you
will. I visited the MOSH (Museum of Science and History) in
Jacksonville to see the exhibit about that beautiful, Jewish
