| Abstract |
The following is an oral history interview with Betty J. Ott. Betty (b.1932) and her husband, the late Layton P. Ott (1930-2004), who generously named the Weber State University's Ott Planetarium. The oral history focuses on Layton's work in science and his love of astronomy and physics. The interview was conducted on November 7, 2011 by Rebecca Ory Hernandez in order to gather Betty and Layton's experiences with Weber State University, including philanthropy. The Ott's important gift to Weber State University assures that the Ott Planetarium continues to do quality production and also allows resources to continue the outreach programs and field trips that the Ott Planetarium staff is so great at implementing. Over 22,000 children go through the Ott Planetarium annually. The Ott Planetarium has received NASA awards as well as local and regional recognition due to their generous support. |
