摘要

On a recent visit to scenic Peterborough, New Hampshire, I stopped in to browse at the Toadstool Bookshop and was surprised by the galaxy of model airplanes suspended from the ceiling. After my initial surprise (and delight) at the size of the collection-there must have been 300 airplanes dangling over the store's used-book section-my sense of wonderment increased when I noticed that it contained not only famous airplane types that almost anyone would recognize but also rare and fairly obscure aircraft that I, as a former naval aviator, was drawn to. When I asked the sales clerk, "How did these models get here?" I learned about Bill Johnson. Johnson had been building model airplanes since he was a kid, and he held onto his collection, believing that someday they'd serve a purpose. That purpose materialized in 1980 when Johnson started his career as a special needs education teacher for teenagers with autism and behavioral problems. Knowing he had to stimulate discus- sion to get the kids focused on something outside themselves, Johnson started building models from kits for display in his classroom. After the stress of working with sometimes volatile students, the "focused, predictable, creative activity," as he called it, was therapeutic.
