Misc. Notes
While cleaning out Gram's (Myrabel) house, I found an original flight plan that was signed by Charles Lindbergh. It has three signatures, one in pencil, one in ink, and one in red pencil. One of the other signatures was Myrabel's 2nd husband, Dan Mahan, who was stationed at March Air Force base when Lindbergh came through. Luckily I found it before tossing it! I was offered $800 for it from someone at the Lindbergh website.
No way! What a find!5221
