I worked at the Trippensee Planetarium Company in the early 90’s shortly after graduating from high school. The company made planetarium models and water sampling equipment which was sold under the Wildco name. Bill and Betty Phillips owned the company which was started by Betty’s Father and Uncle in 1905. You can learn more about the company in my post HERE
I truly enjoyed working there on the corner of Cass and Niagra in Old Town. Betty and Bill were both active in the community and helped established my love for old buildings. I was saddened to hear of Betty’s passing on November 8th. She had a large impact on my life. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family and friends. You can read her obituary HERE
