Her legacy continues to influence people today, including some of the Purdue female aviation technology students pictured here with Purdue President, France A. CArdova.

Janice will be going to a museum and movie for a $10.00 special on Amelia. Apparantly the museum was established in her honor in Atchinson Kansas, just on the other side of Leavenworth, Kansas. I would go if I were closer. Sincerely, Celestyne
Yes, she is an important daughter of Kansas. I remember hearing about her throughout elementary and high school. Dekiyra Love, pictured here, is our granddaughter.
