Download or read book Plane Jane written by F. Jane Schuring and published by Dorrance Publishing. This book was released on 2023-07-25 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About the Book Follow along with Captain Jane Schuring as she shares life’s challenges, her incredible stories flying in Micronesia in the 70s, and her remarkable climb into the cockpit to pilot the B-737. Plane Jane follows F. Jane Schuring through the roll, pitch, and yaw of a life that includes her time as a flight attendant for two decades, a mother of three slinging crockpot meals, a world traveler hiking active and extinct volcanoes, and a captain for a major airline, the ‘second’ career in her long journey. Jane covers every item on the checklist, leaving room for error along the way only when revealing the inside scoop of what it means to be human; her honesty is everything as she reveals all the elements of her time in the sky and on land. Whether you’re in coach, first class, or visiting the cockpit, you can trust that she’ll tell you how it is and get you to your destination better off than when you set out. About the Author After experiencing some difficult life challenges, Jane’s decision to pursue a career change from a twenty-year flight attendant to take flying lessons during what could be called a mid-life crisis (divorce, temporary job loss) was met with barriers at every stage. In spite of hearing, “You’re too old,” or “No one is hiring,” Jane was determined to achieve her dream, eventually ending her almost 44-year career with Continental/United as a B-737 Captain. Her story will inspire those who have experienced the highs and lows of life’s trials, particularly a career in the aviation industry. With stories to tell along the way, it began with a spontaneous trip to Los Angeles for an interview as a ‘hostess’ in 1969, and ended with a smooth landing in Houston with fire trucks on each side of the aircraft spraying the traditional water cannon salute to a retiring captain.

Download or read book The Mis Adventures of Judy Sibling written by Gary White and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2012-08 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now, Judy Sibling was a downright mess (but a totally survivable one), and with absolute certainty (at times) an altogether delightful mess at that ! On a good day she might just luck out and put on a matching pair of socks, (and in this book we shall also talk extensively about her not so good days----). But Judy Sibling was a genius at some things, such as lawerin' and finding missing persons. As a down-right awesome sleuth, no equal existed to match her positive percentage regardless of how haphazard her efforts would appear to be to any outside observers. For the complete enjoyment of this exciting story, you need to be informed that Judy Sibling graduated from law school at the rather tender young age of 18, after six years of intensive study at the prestigious Tennvalina University. Judy was by far the youngest (and also the sharpest) student ever to graduate from Tennvalina University and she did so with honors (after being awarded a full scholarship from Realsmart High School), it is fitting to say, the most notable high school in the entire area. Needless to say her family and very many friends were extremely proud of her and all were anxious to see the actual improvements to the world they correctly imagined could happen upon this sharp, attractive little female's exciting entrance into adult-hood----! You are in for many exciting surprises as Judy is constantly getting herself into(and back out of----!) situations you never even dreamed imaginable----! But it had been positively the worst year of Judy Sibling's career. She had desperately tried (but with only a certain degree of success) to defend one of her former high school class mates Henry Strongdorf in a second degree murder trial that simply, absolutely, refused to go their way. The problem was, although Henry had professed to be completely innocent of the matter, the gun allegedly used to commit the murder in question had no doubt been discovered by the state investigators to be under the front seat of poor Henry Strongdorf's pick-up truck, and although Henry's fingerprints were actually never found on the weapon, the barrel of the of the pistol was covered with dried blood that proved to be of the same type as the blood type of the deceased! Helen Riffraf's mutilated body (or, a least what was left of it) had been found at the bottom of a deep ravine about 15 miles from town. Stray dogs had made a point to chew both her ears off and there was but a hole where one of her eyes used to be. Pieces of half-rotten flesh were all that was left to cover her internal organs, while the length of time that the carcass (for quite obvious reasons) remained in that particular location had contributed such a negative impact on the locally surrounding air quality that it had become nearly impossible to breath in the area without noticeably gasping for that non- existent breath of fresh air. (I wonder if the city morgue stinks half as bad) ?
Download or read book The All True Travels and Adventures of Lidie Newton written by Jane Smiley and published by Ballantine Books. This book was released on 1998-12-29 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Pulitzer Prize-winning author Jane Smiley recaptures an almost forgotten part of the American story and once again demonstrates her extraordinary range and brilliance in The All-True Travels and Adventures of Lidie Newton Set in the 1850s, The All-True Travels and Adventures of Lidie Newton speaks to us in a splendidly quirky voice—the strong, wry, no-nonsense voice of Lidie Harkness of Quincy, Illinois, a young woman of courage, good sense, and good heart. It carries us into an America so violently torn apart by the question of slavery that it makes our current political battlegrounds seem a peaceable kingdom. NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW “Rousing . . . Action-packed . . . A gripping story about love, fortitude, and convictions that are worth fighting for.”—Los Angeles Times “Powerful . . . Smiley takes us back to Kansas in 1855, a place of rising passions and vast uncertainties. Narrated in the spirited, unsentimental voice of 20-year-old Lidie Newton, the novel is at once an ambitious examination of a turning point in history and the riveting story of one woman's journey into uncharted regions of place and self.”—Chicago Tribune “[A] grand tale of the moral and political upheavals igniting antebellum frontier life and a heroine so wonderfully fleshed and unforgettable you will think you are listening to her story instead of reading it. Smiley may have snared a Pulitzer for A Thousand Acres . . . but it is with Lydia (Lidie) Harkness Newton that she emphatically captures our hearts. . . . The key word in Smiley's title is Adventures, and Lydia's are crammed with breathless movement, danger, and tension; populated by terrifically entertaining characters and securely grounded in telling detail.”—The Miami Herald “Smiley brilliantly evokes mid-nineteenth century life. . . . Richly imagined and superbly written, Jane Smiley's new novel is an extraordinary accomplishment in an already distinguished career.”—Atlanta Journal-Constitution “A sprawling epic . . . A garrulous, nights-by-the-hearth narrative not unlike those classics of the period it emulates. In following a rebellious young woman of 1855 into Kansas Territory and beyond, the novel is so persuasively authentic that it reads like a forgotten document from the days of Twain and Stowe.”—The Boston Sunday Globe
