“Courage is the price that life exacts for granting peace,
The soul that knows it not, knows no release
From little things….”
July 2, 1937, Amelia Earhart’s plane went missing. Eleanor Roosevelt wrote, quoting Earhart’s own words from 1934.

Random #factoid...
#EleanorRoosevelt was in a 40 year lesbian relationship with a journalist, #LorenaHickok, who was apparently her exclusive partner after president #Roosevelt died. Before #FDR was president, this was considered exotic, but not important enough to report. After FDR died, it was considered too scandalous to report, as cold-war era anti-LGBTQ sentiment had begun. It was revealed in letters long after they'd all died.

My friends, on this #ThrowBackThursday I'd like to thank my wife, who served as my eyes, ears, and legs. This is a picture from her youth. I thought she was quite elegant and loved her long hair.
