QUESTION: 
How did what you learned in 6th grade help you on this expedition?

ANSWER from Garth Hull on November 1, 1995: 
It is difficult for me to recall specific events in the sixth grade which are
linking to the expedition.  I do know that my teacher instilled in me a love
for reading and an interest in the heavens which led me thru high school and
college to learn as much as I could about astronomy.
Thanks, Garth

The things you learn in sixth grade stay with your entire life.  The sixth
grade is a very important educational stage because you should have the basics
of learning. Now you get to go out and use the tools of reading and arithmetic
and reasoning to discover all the wonders the world has to offer. The
introduction to scientific  thinking, why are there stars, why airplanes fly,
how telescopes work. These are just a few questions that have to do with the
KAO but there are millions of questions still to be answered.
