Patti Gully – October 22, 2009, 2:00pm – 3:00pm

In the late 1930s, as the world moved closer to war, three vivacious females defied gender perceptions by becoming pilots. Driven by a fierce independent spirit, they realized their dream of flying, completed barnstorming goodwill missions across the Western Hemisphere, and captured the imagination of all those whose lives they touched. Patti Gully will be reading in the Lillooet Room (level 3) at the Irving K. Barber Learning Centre, 1961 East Mall, Vancouver.
