When Lonnie G. Bunch III walks through the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C., his love of history is on full display.

"I was in North Carolina, Kitty Hawk, and went to see the replica, and I wanted to say, 'We got the real one!'" he laughed. "And it's here in the Smithsonian, so that forever, people are going to be able to say, 'Oh, my goodness,' and really sort of begin to understand the creativity and the joy that is incumbent in the American spirit."As Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, Bunch runs the place, overseeing 20 museums and the National Zoo.
