For Isabel in the Wild Blue Yonder

In Madrid there stands a castle

made of tinsel so they tell

and within there lives a lady

by the name of Isabelle

All the dukes and princes court her

for her love and land as well

but there's none the king finds worthy

for the hand of Isabelle

Me and Isabel, Summer of 1966

 

Mrs. Isabel _____________ 52, wife of ______________,

died Tuesday, December 26, 1967 at her home.

Mrs._______ served in the WAAC's during World War II.  

She was a member of the American Legion; the S.P.C.A.

and the Philadelphia Zoo. In addition to her husband she

is survived by a son, ________. at home. Services will be

7 p.m. until 9 p.m. Thursday at the _______ Funeral Home.

Burial will be in Gettysburg National Cemetery, Gettysburg.

 

Isabelle would have loved this story.  While in the WAAC, she 

wanted to fly bombers to Britain but couldn't because she was a woman.

While the C-5 was turning over its engines, a female crewman gave the G.I.s on board the usual information regarding seat belts, emergency exits, etc.

Finally, she said, 'Now sit back and enjoy your trip while your captain, Judith Campbell, and crew take you safely to Afghanistan '

An old Master Sergeant sitting in the eighth row thought to himself, 'Did I hear her right? Is the captain a woman? '

When the attendant came by he said 'Did I understand you right? Is the captain a woman?' 'Yes,'! said the attendant, 'In fact, this entire crew is female.'

Women are Angels.
And when someone

breaks our wings,
we simply continue to fly...
