The conference also featured a luncheon and dinner with speakers. Mr. Homer Hickam, a West Virginia native, spoke to the assembly of conference attendees about the possibilities facing them today. Mr. Hickam has written a best selling novel, Rocket Boys, that was produced into the movie "October Sky." Mr. Hickam was gracious with his time and was presented a West Virginia sweatshirt by the WV Science Association.
