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. ]]> http://betsiebay.net/blog/arcadia-born-aviation-pioneer-harriet-quimby/#comment-161 Caroline Miniscule Wed, 19 Mar 2008 02:41:26 +0000 http://betsiebay.net/blog/arcadia-born-aviation-pioneer-harriet-quimby/#comment-161 So nice to see a woman pilot - especially one from 1912, given some publicity today!
