'Next Flight, Please' Glenn, 'Discovery' Crew Visit NIH, Recount Historic Space Journey By Carla Garnett
6 a.m. That's how early one of the first families reportedly lined up Jan. 8 in the Clinical Center in anticipation of an 11:15 a.m. visit to NIH by Sen. John Glenn (D-Ohio) and the rest of the crew of Space Shuttle Discovery Mission STS-95. By 10 o'clock, the still-growing line snaked from the Masur Auditorium entryway, past the main elevators and halfway down a connecting corridor. Hundreds of folks -- including about 70 Clinical Center patients, youngsters from the Children's Inn and their families -- filled Masur (and several overflow rooms) to capacity to hear firsthand tales from the astronauts' nearly 4 million-mile journey into space.
'If You Build It...' By Rich McManus The airy and spacious new main entrance to the Clinical Center on the south side of Bldg. 10 was already a success before it officially opened with a ribbon-cutting on the morning of Jan. 11. Embodying the most famous line from the film Field of Dreams -- "If you build it, they will come" -- NIH'ers visiting the hospital on Jan. 10 tried the door, found it open, and immediately adopted it as their own, ceremonies be damned. | |||
