Caption from Torch: "He was only seven years old, but Kenric Callwood of St. Thomas, V.I., made history on July 8 when he became the 10 millionth person to visit the National Air and Space Museum. Overwhelmed at first by the excitement which greeted his entrance, Kenric soon got into the spirit as he helped NASM Director Michael Collins blow out the candles on the waiting cake. Kenric received a framed color picture from the movie, "To Fly," catalogs of Museum exhibits, a gift certificate to the shop, and passes to the theater and spacearium. He and his party were treated to lunch in the Museum cafeteria."
