I have 9 books that I'd like to give away, or sell if people are willing to buy. These are extras from my collection: The Convenient Wife, Hannah, Making Sure of Sarah, The Magic of Living, Not Once But Twice, Only By Chance, A Small Slice of Summer, Tulips for Augusta, and Visiting Consultant.<br /><br />Do you know if there is anyone who might want them? If someone is willing to pay for just the shipping fee, I'd gladly send them to a good home!<br /><br />Thanks!<br />Drisdy<br />dris209@gmail.com<br />dris209https://www.blogger.com/profile/05721135732242437720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-931981138747432610.post-28953796328199053202015-11-16T07:31:04.121-08:002015-11-16T07:31:04.121-08:00Wow.

I didn't get it the first time because the others were talking at the same time. Maureen O‘Hara said she came all the way from St Croix in the Virgin Islands and she doesn’t like to fly, and John Wayne said, "She’s married to one of the greatest pilots in the world." <br /><br />Sooooooo sad about her husband. She doesn't like flying and he crashes.Betty Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15517346001348814015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-931981138747432610.post-69882657978244055062015-11-15T09:09:58.364-08:002015-11-15T09:09:58.364-08:00I later found this bit on information that makes h...I later found this bit on information that makes her fear so poignant. "She married her third husband, Charles F. Blair, Jr., on 12 March 1968. Blair was a pioneer of transatlantic aviation, a former brigadier general of the US Air Force, a former chief pilot at Pan Am, and founder and head of the U.S. Virgin Islands airline Antilles Air Boats. A few years after her marriage to Blair, O'Hara for the most part retired from acting. Blair died in 1978 while flying a Grumman Goose for his airline from St. Croix to St. Thomas, crashing after an engine failure. O'Hara was elected CEO and president of the airline, with the added distinction of becoming the first woman president of a scheduled airline in the U.S."Keirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10802633046486840052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-931981138747432610.post-64006083555516803292015-11-15T07:04:22.228-08:002015-11-15T07:04:22.228-08:00tsk, tsk, "probably"!tsk, tsk, "probably"!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-931981138747432610.post-39036321513711437632015-11-15T03:27:21.604-08:002015-11-15T03:27:21.604-08:00The Parent Trap was a great favourite of mine.

Alas, I didn't have the figure to carry it off or I might have copied it. ― I should propbably mention, though, that it was not one of Maureen O'Hara's film costumes but one of Hayley Mills' 1961 film teenage school girl outfits. <b>;o)</b>Betty Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15517346001348814015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-931981138747432610.post-4481649878618158972015-11-14T09:10:30.908-08:002015-11-14T09:10:30.908-08:00Always so classy!

She has one more thing in common with a few of Betty's heroines―she doesn't care for flying! Betty Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15517346001348814015noreply@blogger.com
