Sharpie: Nebraska's "Queen of the Air" Born to parents who marry to give their baby a name, Evelyn Genevieve Sharp was adopted when only two months old. A move to the Nebraska Sandhills and an overdue room and board bill during Depression Times, put her in the front seat of an Alexander Flyabout. She was a "natural", earning her private, commercial, and instructor's rerating by age twenty. Sharpie became one of the first women to fly the fighters for the Army Air Forces during WWII, ultimately giving her life for her country. Come here the exciting story as told by Diane Bartels at the March 17th meeting, 7:00 at NewCassel, 900 North 90th Street, Omaha. Bring a friend. The new G.O.G.S. writer's group is up and running. The next meeting will be the fourth Saturday of March at the Crossroads food court--back area. Grab a coffee or juice and a doughnut at one of the food shops and come write with us. We're talking about both writing journals (be a good ancester and write the story of your own life) and writing the stories of our ancestors. If the date & place don't work out for us, we're not locked into anything yet. Bring something you've written about yourself or an ancester to share. Karen
