I don't know bout you all...but this suspense is starting to kill me! Afterall, you're looking at a guy who found this woman interesting since grade school, and has been a part of the forum for many years. Like so many of you...I've had alot of late nights and alot of early mornings ponderin on certain questions and theories that have been brought to play! Overall, its brought us together as a group to solve the greatest mystery of all time. I think Ric needs to place a clock in the upper hand corner of the website. Kinda of like the liftoff clock at Cape Canaveral. Anyway, whatever the outcome and I can honestly say that its been alot of fun over the years!!! In the coming days it will be intense suspense for those aboard the crew and for Ric, we can only imagine a new father waiting patiently in the birthin waiting room. Its kinda of like a surprise birthday party and we're just waiting for that door to open up and there she'll be. Or will it be a retirement party!!! Either way, most of you will agree that its been alot of fun. I was really overtaken by those at the conference in D.C. who have become addicted to one woman and what she has stood for in American History. It was quite evident of those who drew upon her exhibit at the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum. Mostly those were young girls fascinated by her accomplishments and there hearts cry "If Amelia could do it....So can I" attitude!!! I was truly taken by the thought how this woman could make an impact long after she's gone. If in the coming days, Ric and the crew do find something...I believe it is our duty to recognize her nationally by a major monument or some form of ceremony. Maybe a day in her honor...Amelia Earhart Day!!! She may have had a hard time landing planes, but I can honestly say she had more guts than I ever will to get in a plane 15 minutes after seeing it. Anyway, the days are counting down and in just two days we will mark that fateful day 75 years ago!!! Let's all pray for Ric, the Tighar Crew, those involved with ship operations, and those running all the mini-subs, for their personal safety. We pray that there will finally be an answer and a resolve, and that finally a chapter in American History will finally be read! Good Luck and God Bless!!!!
