Lapeer students to visit grave of Lapeer 'space' hero

A group of students visiting Washington, D.C. next month will pay their respects at the Arlington gravesite of a Lapeer High School alum who died testing high altitude space equipment.

Dr. Victor Prather died following a successful balloon flight that took him and another Navy officer 21-miles above the earth.

Channel 12 in Flint did a story on Dr. Prather and the students' trip on tonight's news broadcast.
