HISTORICAL NOTE
The first Public Information Officer of the National Air and Space Museum w
as Lynne C. Murphy, who reported to the director and served from 1976 to 1978.
She was succeeded by Rita C. Bobowski, later known as Rita C. Cipalla, who
held the title until 1980 when it was changed to Chief, Public Affairs and
Museum Services. In 1987 the title was shortened to Chief, Public Affairs, and
Cipalla continued to serve until 1990. At that time the special events
functions of the office were transferred to the Assistant Director for
Development, John Carlin. Cipalla became Assistant Director, Office of
Communications, until her departure from the museum in 1991.
The primary
function of the Office of Public Affairs was the handling of all events:
openings, lectures, presentations, luncheons, ceremonies, and the like.
