Reflections of the Lindbergh Crate Museum

MPBN videographer Nick Woodward talks about the impression Larry Ross, the owner and ioperator of the Lindbergh Crate Museum in Canaan, Maine, had on him after Nick shot the video for this segment of Maine Experience. He salutes Ross for recognizing that the wooden crate in which Lindbergh's Spirit of St. Louis had been shipped back to America was more than "just a box" and had the potential to be more than simply an historical artifact -- Nick explains how Mr. Ross uses it as a teaching and motivational tool to show schoolchildren who visit the Lindbergh Crate Museum how to achieve anything they can dream of.
