Hi, Patty my name is Derek. I'm an aviation student at SCSU in Minnesota. Currently I have to write a term paper on an important woman or minority in aviation. Since I was about 8 years old, and went to my first airshow in Oshkosh, I've wanted to be a pilot. And, since you were one of the first aerobatic pilot's I had seen, you came first to mind. The problem I've run into, is that a lot of the information I found for this all seem to be rewording the biography that is on your website. I was wondering if it would be possible to interview you as a reference for this paper. Any response would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Derek
