Last week when I was at Arlington Cemetery and the Women In Military Service For America Memorial (known locally as WIMSA), I found my long-time friend Geri Nyman on their computer in their museum. It was thrilling to see her on the big screen, as she deserves to be honored and remembered for her incredible service during World War II, first as a flight instructor training military pilots and then as a ferry pilot, flying brand new “untested” airplanes from the factories to the military airfields. I wrote about her at “Geri Was a WASP.”

Our deepest sympathies. We just read her obit here in the Casa Grande newspaper. Never had a change to meet her, but obviously she was very special.
I sincerely appreciate your comment Bob. My friend Geri was a WASP during World War Two. As of Friday, the 30th of December 2011, she is an angel in heaven.
