The man who does not work for the love of work, but only for money, is
not likely to make money nor to find much fun in life. - Charles Schwab,

FBI on Amelia
Earhart Disappearance
7/7/07 Amelia Earhart was an aviatrix who disappeared July 1937, over the
Pacific Ocean while on a highly publicized world flight attempt. The FBI
never investigated her disappearance. The records generally consist of
correspondence from individuals speculating about her fate. In 1990, the
International Group for Historic Aircraft Recovery submitted a navigator's
bookcase to the FBI Laboratory for examination. This item was suspected of
having been part of Ms. Earhart's lost aircraft. Various technical
analyses were conducted and nothing was found which would disqualify the
artifact as having come from the Earhart aircraft.
