"It's quite interesting to watch a child learn at the same time that they're having fun," says Stephanie Stallworth. The director of public and community relations for Cox Las Vegas witnessed that moment with her own children at the Las Vegas Natural History Museum, so when LVNHM Executive Director Marilyn Gillespie asked her to join the board in 2002, Stallworth stepped right up. Now, she's one of the board's more tenured members, as well as its vice chair and an eloquent advocate for the 25-year-old museum where visitors can experi- ence ancient Egypt, watch a paleontology lab in action, or ogle baby sharks named after American Olympians. "When [people] come through the museum doors it's like they've walked through this magical time machine, and they're all of a sudden transported to another time, another place, a whole other experience," says Stallworth. "They didn't have to fly anywhere else to have that experience. It's right in their backyard." lvnmh.org vegasmagazine.com 99 stephanie stallworth Las Vegas NaturaL History MuseuM "When people come through the museum doors, it's like they've Walked through this magical time machine." —stephanie stallworth hair for Lin Jerome: ashLey marsh. makeup for Lin Jerome: ashLey fogLeman for migueL JuLio Beauty. hair for stephanie staLLworth: sara o'Brien, scandaLs saLon
