Kansas center known as 'Patty's Folly' has become world-famous Associated Press HUTCHINSON, Kan. In 1962, it was "Patty's Folly" operating with second-hand equipment out of a poultry barn. But now the Kansas Cosmosphere and Space Center has grown into a museum with a national and international reputation, and one of the top attractions in the state.
It marked its 35th anniversary Tuesday. "I'm floored that it has grown to what it is now. It had a very, very humble beginning," said Charles Gilliland, who worked with Patty Carey, the woman he called "the driving force" behind it, in the early years of what was then the Hutchinson Planetarium. On a Friday in October 1962, Mrs. Carey got a telephone call from the director of the planetarium in her native Oklahoma City.
She had grown to love astronomy and was a frequent visitor to the planetarium. That planetarium was planning to remodel and upgrade its equipment, and the director wanted to know whether Mrs. Carey would like to buy the old star projector. The cost was $7,200, and Mrs. Carey had until the following Monday to come up with the money.
Otherwise, the projector would be sold to someone else. Mrs. Carey began making calls, and got the money, although many of the people she talked to had no idea what a planetarium was. The Hutchinson Planetarium opened Dec. 2, 1962, in the new Poultry Building on the Kansas State Fairgrounds with a show called "Star of Bethlehem." depicting what the heavens wold have looked like at the time of Christ's birth.
Privately, H.J. "Jake" Carey jokingly referred to the planetarium as "Patty's Folly" because it seemed like such an unlikely enterprise, kept alive by the will of his wife. Among students who began. working at the planetarium in the late 1960s was Max Ary, whoexpected to go to Emporia State University, get his degree and become a biology 1 teacher like tris brothers. But he and Mrs.
Carey hit it off immediately. It was months before Ary realized his new friend also happened to be the person who signed his checks. When the planetarium director resigned in August 1970 he became an assistant director and finished his education at Wichita State University. He left for a while to become director of Noble Planetarium in Fort Worth. returning in 1976 when given the chance to build a new museum from the ground up.
In 1988, the Cosmosphere formed Space Works, a subsidiary specializing in replicating and restoring space hardware. A fully-funded $13 million expansion was completed in March. At 75, Mrs. Carey is dreaming still, coming to the museum several days a week and talking about how it can make still more improvements. UL Carnahan appoints: blind judge to bench ST.
LOUIS Although he has been the director of Legal Services of Eastern Missouri since 1980, many considered Richard B. Teitelman an unexpected choice for the position as the newest judge on the Eastern District of the Missouri Court of Appeals. Teitelman, 50, is white and legally blind. Gov. Mel Carnahan had been expected to name a black to the post because all 32 judges on the Missouri Court of Appeals are white.
Instead, Carnahan named Teitelman. Visually impaired since birth, Teitelman can see shapes and movements. "Most things I can blow up and read slowly," he said. "But if my brother walked by, I wouldn't know it was him." Teitelman grew up in West Philadelphia, where authorities tried to send him to the Home for the Blind. "My mother refused," Teitelman said.
May Teitelman had other plans for her youngest son. Kari Patch Floral Gifts 2721 Pembroke 364-6625 Associated Press She wanted him to be a doctast Instead, he graduated with a bachelor's degree in math and then attended Washington University School of Law in St. Louis, where he excelled. on Teitelman became an expert in consumer law, editing two books for the Missouri Bar. One was the first handbook of consumer law and the other a guide for lawyers serving the handicapped, elderly and poor.
Legal Services provides lawyers who give free legal services to the poor. "My goal Ras always been full access to justice, not minimum access, for all those who need it," he said. Teitelman said there are other blind lawyers in the state, is the only legally blind judge. "I don't see any problem with this job," he said. "First, it's an' appellate court.
There's no testimony, just two lawyers arguing their case off of briefs. Second may read slowly, but I read with total comprehension. I read some: thing once, I remember it." PAPER WAREHOUSE 3007 N. Belt Christmas at Mt. Auburn This year at Mt.
