He came to Buhl Planetarium to assist with the planning of the new science center building. However, he did work with the Program Department on some of the newer Buhl exhibits, at that time. At this link is one short obituary: http://www.exhibitfiles.org/blog/2010/11/17/peter-anderson/ A death notice, with a guest book, follows in the forwarded messaage. gaw Glenn A.
