“ People think that in some ways it’s like having a degree in nothing, but it’s like having a degree in everything... “ spring-<strong>2017</strong>.indd 8 7/13/17 12:24 PM
Lofty Dreams Hill Aerospace Museum curator draws on USU lessons Justin Hall is a classicist. He double minored in Greek and Latin. His master’s thesis explored intellectualism in ancient Greek drama. He’d created for himself “a niche in the ancient world.” But at the moment, he is pointing to a machine gun with a barrel as wide as a soccer ball protruding from the nose of a large, solid and sleek marvel of technology, the Warthog. “This A-10 is my favorite aircraft here,” he said. “When I arrived, I didn’t even know that the A stood for ‘attack’.” Since he joined the Hill Aerospace Museum as its curator in 2010, he’s learned loads about planes — and helicopters and the veterans of American wars. And, in his former position as curator of the Zion National Park Museum, he became versed in ancient pottery, red rocks, and mountain goats. There’s one thread that weaves together the papyrus of Euripides to the clay pots of the Southwest to the museum’s SR-71, the world’s fastest airplane. Humans. Their nature, their innovative thinking, their optimism. As a curator, Hall’s job is to preserve history, whether its makers were dressed in togas as they invented philosophy or in 20th-century suits engineering the technological marvels that freed us from earth-bound constraints. “I appreciate human nature, and I enjoy seeing what humans do as a species,” he said. “The questions and stories don’t change much, regardless of the era.” History 8 spring-<strong>2017</strong>.indd 9 7/13/17 12:25 PM
