I heard recently that an old friend, a female, who has managed the
airport at Morristown, Tennessee for more than half a century, is
still flying at age 96! I wish I had her genes.

As it happens, "Mama Bird" Johnson was involved in a car crash September
10, 2006 that resulted in amputation of one of her legs. I had a link to a
page on www.citizentribune.com describing this, but the link went dead.
The gist of the full story is she was traveling with the sun in her eyes
and rear-ended a slow moving tractor.

Thanx. And very sorry to hear that. It's about a year and a half ago that a
female pilot (looked 16, but probably in her 30's) told me Evelyn was still
flying. She was an icon.
