To the Editor:

Last week, the Marion Natural History Museum’s after school groups constructed their own rockets. During lift off some went incredible distances, one ending up on a roof and at least one in a tree.

The kids and the parents all had a great time. The museum wishes to thank Mike and Alex Cronin of “Design Principles” for volunteering to help us construct and lift off the rockets, and all the many parents who stuck around to help with the construction and clean up afterward.
