Joe Allen and Janice Voss were guests of the Experience Indiana Speakers
Program, funded by Lilly Endowment Inc. Allen and Voss are among dozens
of astronauts from Indiana; fully 10 percent of all NASA astronauts were
either born or educated in Indiana. It's a fun fraternity, too. Allen
recognized Wabash alum and long-time campus doctor Keith Baird ’56
several times on Thursday. Baird was the flight surgeon for three Apollo
space missions, including Apollo 13, and was Allen's family doctor when
he began at NASA. "Janice and I may be footnotes in the history of the
space program," Allen said. "Keith Baird was one of the pioneers in
those early Apollo flights."
