Thanks for posting this interview Joe! This interview and several others like it, are a major contribution...not only to the TIGHAR organization...but to the world. It tells the world that what she wrote down is most likely the last words that anyone heard from Amelia Earhart and Fred Noonan!!! What a treasure!!!! I loved this interview because it gives the listener the true understanding of who Amelia truly was. Typical Kansas cussing girl who'd rather stick with it and fix it or and doesn't take no for an answer! I had to laugh as Betty described Amelia in her frustrations! I truly wonder what Fred's attitude towards her on this whole trip was like? Anyway, not only did one person hear Amelia, but Betty's father heard her as well. In the interview Betty describes her father's radio as a console with a short wave radio. It almost depicts the radio my great grandfather had in his home. With that...I wonder...why only a small percentage of people heard her, and not many others? This is a question that truly needs to be answered! Anyway, Betty's notebook is a priceless treasure, and I'm positive that it will end up in a glass case for future generations to come!! My heart goes out to Betty's family during this difficult time. R.I.P. Betty....and may the Lord guide you safely home!!!
