Episode #49: “She got in her private plane and flew home. Local girl makes good”
Thank you dearly to my guest, 96-year old Anita Hessin who told me her amazing life story which included:
- Growing up on a farm in Ohio
- A secret marriage
- The first time she saw her husband after WWII
- Life in Cabimas, Venezuela:
- the only song the native orchestra knew
- what it sounds like when a “big lizard” falls onto a tin roof
- the mail sedan
- The years they were taken in by the country club set of Oil City, PA
- Becoming the first female operating manager of Allstate
- And after all this the highlight of her life... learning to fly at age 45!
