Lost Mom 22 years ago today. She was a total trip - pilot, pioneer, veteran, awesome mom. I miss her so much.

I want to be there so bad! I'm still going to be in chemo, so I'll have to enjoy vicariously. I hope you get to go!

Yes, indeed! Class 43-W-5. :)

Not sure what to say exactly but I do hope it goes well and that you recover. Sorry if this sounds clumsy.

Not clumsy at all - very kind and thoughtful! Thank you! :) I'm in my fourth time through chemo since 2019. I've gotten used to being bald (which comes in handy during hot DC summers).

This is awesome. Just went down a rabbit hole and learned that not only did they train a class of RAF pilots there, but Sweetwater became the only all-female air base in history the same year as this picture?!
