Hi Luella and John!
Amelia Earhart is a great choice for you Woman of Courage honor. She was one of my father's idols as someone who set her sites and never lost the focus and her eye on the prize. My Dad was a pilot, so it was a natural infatuation for him
I especially love the quote: "When they fail, their failure must be but a challenge to others."
She was brave and endured much as a woman in a field that was dominated by men. It's not as bad as it was in her day, but woman are still ridiculed in many "male" professions. I admire them for having the fortitude to just keep on keepin' on!
Thanks for honoring her.
Judy
