Amelia Earhart
I picked up a book I've had for a long time - "Letters from Amelia" - and started to peruse it. Did you know we missed the anniversary of her disappearance?

July 2, 1937

It really does look to be an interesting tale. She was a woman before her time.

Any Amelia Earhart stories or thoughts out there?

1. I was really captivated by her growing up and read most of the books
that sought to answer her disappearance. GAP had an ad campaign years ago that featured an enormous poster of her by her plane in khakis and I tried for years to get one of those. It was so cool, but was never succesful.

She definitely was a fascinating lady. RIP, wherever you may be, Amelia.

2. Isn't she Dale Earhart's Grandmother?
