A new bio-pic of Amelia Earhart opens this weekend. No doubt it will be fabulous, and let us not forget that the gallant aviatrix was in Newfoundland, not once but twice, embarking from Trepassey as the first female Trans-Atlantic passenger, and from Harbour Grace as the first woman to fly solo across the pond. Hey, I bet this means we're mentioned in the film and everything! We should all go see the film and then go to Harbour Grace. There are still people there who met and remember her.
