Susan Reid visits the library to speak about her sister Jerrie Mock. Mock, a Newark native, was the first woman pilot to fly solo around the world.
From the Smithsonian National Air & Space Museum:
"Geraldine “Jerrie” Mock touched down in her Cessna 180 at Port Columbus Airport in Ohio, on April 17, 1964, completing the first round-the-world solo flight by a woman. Having departed on March 19, she accomplished her 23,103 mile (37,180 kilometer) journey in 29 days, 11 hours, and 59 minutes."
This free event will be held in the library Community Room.
Presented by the Friends of the Library.
