Three Cheers for all those involved in celebrating this remarkable story, for doing their best for us all being able to answer the question: Who was the first woman to fly around the world- solo? Jerrie Mock! Last year thanks to individuals working with the Licking County Foundation a statue of Jerrie Mock was unveiled at The Works: Ohio Center for History, Art and Technology. This morning The Columbus Foundation did a beautiful job with an unveiling of a statue of Jerrie for the Port Columbus Airport. Renate Fackler is the artist, Susan Reid is Jerrie's sister, Wendy Hollinger is the book publisher- all of these women have put countless hours into making sure we all can answer the question, learn the story and celebrate this remarkable accomplishment so inspiration can happen!! Life on Newark-Granville Road embraces this inspiration and story!!
