One of the entertainment choices for the weekend was a trip and guided tour through the Palm Springs Air Museum. Years ago HMC had an aeronautics program run by Iris Critchell, a backstroker who swam in the 1936 Olympics. She taught a number of HMC students how to fly and several of her former students are trustees of the college. Of course it was fitting to take a field trip to this little gem of a museum which features airplanes from WWII. Although air museums do not usually excite me, our tour guide had enough stories from his days of flying in the war and the particulars about each kind of plane to make the tour quite interesting.
