I've thrown together a little hodge-podge of Amelia Earhart quotes, videos and links in honor of the anniversary of her first US non-stop flight. Amelia Earhart was an incredibly courageous and fascinating woman! Maybe we should focus on educating our daughters on more women like Amelia Earhart?
I do what I can ... but I just have a few aquariums full of guppies. =) I give you this info and beg of you to share it ... especially with your young dahlings.
(Please and Thanks!)

Amelia Earhart is the first woman to fly across the United States non-stop
(from Los Angeles to Newark, New Jersey).
