Monday Mornings: Amelia Earhart

Most people know Amelia Earhart as a famous aviator who disappeared in the Pacific Ocean while attempting a flight around the world in 1937. But missing from her adventurous narrative is the time she spent in Medford, Marblehead, and Boston. Why was Amelia at the T-Wharf at four in the morning? Where did Coach Earhart enjoy roasting marshmallows and storytelling with her basketball team? And why did the police almost arrest her for littering in Boston? Come learn about Amelia’s Boston years and how her adventures led to a phone call that changed her life.

Dr. Margie Arnold has retired from a 30 year career in higher education. Margie has been a longtime advocate for Amelia Earhart’s life and legacy. Currently, Margie is a member of the Ninety-Nines and serves on the board of trustees at the Amelia Earhart Birthplace Museum.
