AMELIA EARHART'S RELATIVE TO PRESENT AT LCM
Amelia Earhart’s 2nd cousin, Nancy Earhart Burt presents a program on the life of Amelia Earhart at the Lyon County Museum at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 2.
Nancy shares all in an entertaining and educational slideshow of Amelia Earhart’s life, with audio and video clips. There are two parts to the program. In the first half, “Amelia” arrives in costume and shares highlights of her amazing life story ... growing up in Kansas on the banks of the Missouri River, frequent moves as a child, finding her interest in flying, her momentous flying events, her marriage, and her thoughts on women. She discusses how we all need to find the courage to do what we want in life.
In Part 2, Amelia leaves, and her cousin Nancy steps in to share “The Rest of the Story”, about what went wrong on Amelia’s last flight, theories about what happened to her cousin, Amelia’s marriage, the books she wrote, how she made money for future flights, and so on.
Nancy Earhart Burt is a proud second cousin, three times removed to Amelia Earhart. Nancy developed this program on her cousin Amelia in 2023, and has presented many times in Arizona, Idaho, South Dakota, and Minnesota. Nancy has had a life-long interest in women’s issues, as had her cousin Amelia. She has a master’s degree in counseling and has held a variety of “helping” positions including college instructor, non-profit director, corporate trainer and career counselor. Sit back & enjoy a fascinating hour!!
The program is free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be served.
