What drove Robert to create this new flag?
It all began as a high school project assigned in 1958 in Lancaster, Ohio, for his teacher, Mr. Stan Pratt. Each student's assignment was to create a project of their own choosing that would be graded for creativity.
What prompted Robert to create a flag as his project?
Robert was always interested in government and politics and was aware of the possibility of Alaska and Hawaii becoming the next new states. While other kids at his high school struggled with ideas on what to create for their projects, Robert knew right away that he wanted to create the first 50 star flag.
