Peaches gets her Pilot's License

When Peaches was at Southwestern Louisiana Institute, in Lafayette,  a program was being offered to encourage students to learn to fly.  This was called the Civilian Pilot Training Program started in 1938.  It's purpose was to train a pool of potential military pilots that the country would soon need.  This program operated at 1,132 colleges and universities.  I've posted a link to the National Museum of the USAF if you would like more information.  Mom was one of two girls accepted in her class, I believe the other girl dropped out.  I'll have more of Mom's adventures, later!

Limoncello

Today Peaches, Dotsy and I zested lemons for the limoncello we are making. It was a beautiful fall day, so we sat on the screen porch with Buddy. When Mom was growing up, she says she learned to drive a Model T Ford when she was 12, and went to LSU when she was 15. There she pledged KD. In Louisiana, there were only 3 years of high school at the time. After her first year, she transferred to Lafayette to attend Southwestern Louisiana Institute, now known as University of Louisiana at Lafayette. That is where she met my Dad. At the time he was known as Curry Comb, because of his thick curly hair. Dad was on a football scholarship, when they met.
