She reminded me that she had been in the Civil Air Patrol in Atlanta during the war. She said that mostly they put on uniforms and marched all around. Anyway, that was what got her interested in flying, and she learned during the war, when she was about 16. Not long after that, she decided to go to college, and then couldn't afford it anymore.Ruralityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06616461213179182660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10013142.post-1115649134515497742005-05-09T09:32:00.000-05:002005-05-09T09:32:00.000-05:00What a wonderful tribute to your mom.What a wonderful tribute to your mom.Karen Schmautzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17882229236585238584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10013142.post-1115646810789362342005-05-09T08:53:00.000-05:002005-05-09T08:53:00.000-05:00Thanks everybody.

And I think she's very pretty too but of course I'm a bit biased. :) Sadly my sister is the one who inherited her looks, and I look more like my father's father.<BR/><BR/>The plane flying was in the 40s - probably après la guerre but I'm not sure - I'll have to ask her. She said she didn't keep flying because it was too expensive. Her little brother ended up being a pilot in the Air Force, and her sister's husband and their three sons all flew planes, so maybe it's in the blood on that side of the family. I used to love flying (as a passenger), but nowdays I'm a nervous flier.<BR/><BR/>I could tell you the middle names in question, but then I'd have to kill you! I might be next on the list because I'm sure my sainted mother would want to kill me if I disclosed hers on the internet. Mine is not actually bad, I like it fine now, I just didn't like it as a kid. I had several ancestors with the same name so I guess my parents were covering all bases.Ruralityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06616461213179182660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10013142.post-1115582525415459312005-05-08T15:02:00.000-05:002005-05-08T15:02:00.000-05:00beautiful. and I love the tones in that image too...beautiful. and I love the tones in that image too.Charleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15208546759936920035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10013142.post-1115573280358862062005-05-08T12:28:00.000-05:002005-05-08T12:28:00.000-05:00Your mom sounds pretty amazing.
