A new movie documenting the life of Amelia Earhart opened in Alaska- and across the country this week. The film isn’t getting great reviews, but it is generating new interest in the pioneering aviator. And it inspired APRN’s Annie Feidt to explore her own family’s brush with the famous aviatrix.

    Annie,
    I really enjoyed hearing your family story on when Amelia Earhart stayed with your great grand mother and it was very interesting. Thanks for sharing that.
