Amelia Earhart -- SPARK-Con Keynote Speaker

     When the name Amelia Earhart is mentioned to anyone familiar with aviation, the name conjures up the story of the historic Amelia Mary Earhart (1897-1937*) who went missing in July of 1937 someplace in the South Pacific Ocean as she attempted to fly around the world.

     But there is another Amelia Earhart, this time Amelia Rose Earhart, who also has a story to tell about flying around the world.  That story was heard by those who attended the ARRL Midwest Convention Banquet in Sedelia, MO, on Friday evening, Oct 10.  The meal at the Banquet was good, the company of fellow hams was great, however it was the keynote speaker that made the banquet special.
