The local PBS, Ozarks Public Television, Springfield, Mo., invited a group of students from Strafford and a group from Springfield Public Schools to visit their station during the LFM broadcast. They treated the kids royally, and helped make this a very special event. Three televisions were in the room so all could see and hear very well, two large screened computers were connected to the LFM Web Site so kids could email questions. Dr. Carol Collins, formerly with JPL, joined us. She is currently developing the Computer Science degrees for Drury College. She had visited both groups in their classrooms to provide background information during the weeks prior to the broadcast. She provides a great role model for our female students. I was so busy helping students with e-mail questions and assisting with the refreshments the station had provided that I missed some of the broadcast, however, the discussions in the classroom during the following days provided me the details of the program. Thanks to PTK for facilitating this type of event. Norma L. Barnes nbarnes@mail.orion.org
