Soup at Six - Aviation





What a great night!

I really enjoyed giving the program last night on Canton's Pioneers in Flight! We had the Charles Lindbergh scroll on display and everyone was really fascinated with it. We sold 9 copies of my book at the book signing afterwards, which was a wonderful number since there were 28 people who attended!

Randy's soup was great, as always -- chicken tortilla!!

Here are some video clips from the program. Chris took quite a few, so it was hard to decide what to choose for the blog. So there are more than I usually post!



Here I start the program by explaining how MOST people weren't experimenting with flight!



Frank S. Lahm founded the Aero Club of Ohio.



The Wright Brothers taught Frank P. Lahm how to fly.



William H. Martin invented the first monoplane.

Bernetta Miller was the 5th woman in the United States to earn her pilot's license. She is one of my favorite characters in local history!
