话题练习-人物故事
L
Nova Hall was cleaning out his garage in Sedona 13 years ago when he discovered an old case. It was a treasure trove(宝库).
The case contained blueprints drawn by his grandfather Donald Hall of the Spirit of St. Louis, the airplane in which pilot Charles Lindbergh flew the first solo flight across the Atlantic Ocean. Lindbergh flew from New York to Paris in 1927. To do that, he needed a special aircraft, one that would fit his 6-foot-3 frame. In the case were photographs of his grandfather and Lindbergh in their mid-20s, as well as letters and notes about the aircraft. Those photos also recorded how they made the plane. Donald Hall was the chief engineer and designer.
That discovery in Sedona was life-changing for Hall. He eventually gave up his dream of becoming a U.S. ambassador, and he decided to use art to develop a passion for science and technology among the youth. Hall thought if his grandfather and Lindbergh achieved that much without technology, imagine what the youth today could do if science and math were encouraged more.
Like his grandfather, Hall too has often been discouraged by others. "I was always told I couldn't make a living as an artist," he said. "But I realized how important it was for me to look into my history and how that was influencing my choices for my life."
Some of the case's treasures were on display as part of Hall's art exhibit at the ASU West campus. Hall calls his exhibit part museum, art show, performance space and educational workshop. Called "Flying Over Time", the exhibit, which also included paintings he created, is the most important part of the Arizona SciTech Festival.
