    MEET AMELIA EARHART—MY COUSIN by Ernst F. Tonsing, Ph.D. Thousand Oaks, California November 10, 2006 I. “COUSIN AMELIA” 1—AE Portrait from Poster I hope to bring to you some words about a person with whom all of you are acquainted, Amelia Earhart. The world knew her as that astounding aviatrix, who, despite the social code for women of her day, dressed in the slacks, shirt and scarf of a pilot, and accomplished amazing feats of endurance and distance in a plane. This is why she is called “The First Lady of the Skies.” The mother of Amelia Earhart and my grandmother were second cousins and were very close. My grandmother, who was a prolific letter writer, said that she and Amelia’s mother corresponded almost weekly. We knew Amelia Earhart just as “cousin Amelia.” A photograph of her, signed when she gave it to my mother and father in June, 1935, stood on top of our piano in our home before it was stolen years ago. I remember seeing it daily when I was young, the picture of a kindly, pleasant face returning my smiles. I want to tell you some things this evening about Amelia Earhart and her family that, perhaps, have never before been said in public outside of the circle of her relatives. For us, it was always “Cousin Amelia,” but then our extended family had many “cousins.” In 1937, after “Lady Lindy” had taken off in the Lockheed twin-engine plane on her last adventure, a flight around the world, the whole attention of the family was concentrated on her progress from continent to continent.
