The author of the comment wondered why we might choose to feature Harriet. The answer of course is that Arcadia is in our area. Although Harriet moved away at a young age, I was thinking that the tradition of <a href="http://betsiebay.net/blog/sailplanes-on-the-frankfort-beach/" rel="nofollow">soaring & sailplanes</a> in the area had a part in instilling her love of flight. This morning I thought a little more about one of my favorite views in the world which is <a href="http://flickr.com/photos/farlane/1878468557/in/pool-betsiebay/" rel="nofollow">just north of Arcadia</a> and wondered if that too might have made a young girl's imagination soar.
