Have you ever wondered what it was like to fly an airplane in 1905? Mark Dusenberry, vintage aircraft builder and pilot, is one of the few people that can describe the experience. Mark built a replica 1905 Wright Flyer III and has flown it over fifty times. Mark will speak at the Engineers Club, 110 East Monument Avenue, Dayton, about his experiences at 7 p.m. on Thursday, March 22, 2007.
Mark has always held an interest in history, airplanes, and how things were made. He was particularly interested in the 1905 Wright Flyer III because it was the first airplane to successfully turn and fly for a duration exceeding 30 minutes, and is considered to be the world’s first “practical” airplane. Construction of this aircraft allowed him to work with wood, metal and fabric. More importantly, it gave him a deeper and more personal understanding of the Wright brothers. He began his project to build a 1905 Wright Flyer III in 1995 and completed it in 2003. The Flyer’s maiden flight in September 2003 was of five seconds duration. Since then, Mark has flown many times with flights lasting from 5 to 40 seconds. At the Oct. 5, 2005 centennial, Mark flew his flyer at Huffman Prairie Flying Field recreating similar flights made by the Wright brothers. About his project, Mark says, “I built it and flew it because I wanted to learn. I was trying to get a feel of what the Wrights went through in learning how to fly, trying to retrace their footsteps in construction and learning how to fly.”
In 2003 he obtained a private pilots license. Mark continues to make Dover, Ohio his home.

Wright Library will host an afternoon book discussion on March 18 of The Glass Castle by Jeanette Walls. The program is part of the “Big Read,” the Miami Valley’s annual community reading project. The Glass Castle is a memoir of growing up in a dysfunctional, but very creative family. It’s an intriguing book that will make readers reconsider the meaning of family, growing up, and living with people who are both brilliant and flawed. Librarydirector Ann Snively says, “This is a book that will make people think and it’s a page-turner. Just look at how the first chapter begins: ‘I was sitting in a taxi, wondering if I had overdressed for the evening, when I looked out the window and saw Mom rooting through a dumpster.’ It is well written and never boring.”
The public is invited to join the discussion at Wright Library on Sunday, March 18 at 2 p.m. in the library’s meeting room. No registration is required and refreshments will be served.
For a list of the dates of all the discussion groups, visit www.BigRead.org.

Wright Library held a “How to Eat Fried Worms” party recently after spending three weeks listening to Miss Jennifer read the book. At the party, 20 children watched a short presentation about the benefits of worms and how to care for them. Then they each added nightcrawlers to their own worm farms. They enjoyed a dirt cake snack complete with gummy worms and then made their own polymer worms to take home. The children returned the following day to watch the new “How to Eat Fried Worms” movie with their families. The girl in the pink coat holding the worm is Emily Gallion. Her sister Bailey in on the right and Claire Intili is on the left. Miss Jessica is in the foreground.
