The courageous exploits and charismatic personality of aviator Amelia Earhart made her an international celebrity.  Her dazzling achievements include being the first woman to cross the Atlantic Ocean in an airplane (1928), the first woman to pilot herself across the Atlantic by plane (1932).  She also set numerous speed and altitude records before disappearing mysteriously in 1937 during an attempted around-the-world flight.  Leslie Goodard will be portraying this pioneer of aviation on Saturday, May 2nd at 2 p.m. at the Whiting Public Library.
