Blame And (a Little) Praise

Many thanks to you and to Richard Reinhardt for helping me spread the word about Harriet Quimby, America’s first licensed female pilot (1911). Sometimes I feel like a salmon swimming upstream trying to create awareness of our beautiful, intelligent, and talented aviatrix whose unprecedented career was cut tragically short. The next annual Harriet Quimby Research Conference will be held on October 20–22, 2000, in Quincy, Massachusetts. For more information, see our Web site: www.HarrietQuimby.org .
