AE married a sugar daddy, which allowed her to develop her flying hobby, used a political connection to get a pit stop for her trip built, but, on balance, wasn’t a very thorough planner or particularly deep thinker.

She was from Atchison, KS.
A legend there.
I worked for a company headquartered in Atchison, very old town. Very old company (it was 150 year old company in 2021)
The beginning of wagon trains in early days, the head of railroads later.
