Can't help but wonder....

This photo was discovered by a TIGHAR member hanging on the wall of a Homewood Suites hotel in Rock Springs, Wyoming.  (The photo was hanging on the wall, not the TIGHAR member.)

That's the Pitcairn PCA-2 Autogyro AE flew across the country in May/June 1931.  Six years later, on July 4, 1937, 16 year-old Rock Springs resident Dana Randolph picked up her distress call on his home shortwave set.  "This is Amelia Earhart.  Ship on reef southeast of Howland."  Dana reportedly hollered to his father in the kitchen, "Hey Paw!  I got Miss Earhart!" The Randolph family were African American.
I wonder if Dana and/or his father went to the airfield to see Amelia when she came through in 1931.  The guy on the extreme left in the photo could be African American.

Part of the photo might be covered up by the mat.

AE had ties to Wyoming

Fabulous isolated setting.

At the Wild Bill Museum in Cody, WY, I found this.  It is not out for display, but is in storage at the museum.  It is reported as AE's flight jacket that was sent to the friend that was building the cabin for her "for safe keeping."

Any possibility it could be checked for AE's DNA?

Probably not, but what would be the point?
