It is amazing when student teachers that worked with you begin to retire. That is the case for Peter K. Detterline who ran the Boyertown (PA) Area School District Planetarium for 35 years. He was my student teacher during the spring of 1981 at the Allentown School District Planetarium. We have remained good friends ever since. His enthusiasm for astronomy and life is insatiable. Much success Peter! Lauren Ashley photography... |
