Georges Besancon Quotes
Aeronautics confers beauty and grandeur, combining art and science for those who devote themselves to it. . . .

George Eliot
I grew up feeling 'less than.' I was the sad, shy child hiding in the hall closet beneath coats. I'd wait for my grandmother's voice to call, 'Jewell, Jewell.' I was lost, waiting to be found. I thought being found, I'd be happier, better. All the while, I read stories. Stories with both truth and lies.
