SUMMARY:WASP in the Spotlight - BETTY HEINRICH BERKSTRESSER
DESCRIPTION:ABOUT BETTY HEINRICH BERKSTRESSER\n\n\n\nBetty Heinrich Berkstresser was born May 12\, 1919 in Houston\, Texas. She was a native Houstonian and graduate of the University of Houston. She jumped at the chance to learn to fly after a university math professor asked her\, “Would you like to be a pilot?” She immediately enrolled in the Civilian Pilot Training program\, took her flight training at Hobby Airport\, and began adding hours to her logbook. She was accepted into the WASP Class 43-W-4 at Avenger Field Sweetwater\, Texas. Betty’s favorite was the AT-7 in which she flew over 500 hours. \n\n\n\nBetty had a passion for exploring. She rode more than 50\,000 miles around the U.S. and Canada on her Honda 500cc motorcycle with Herky and Garner State Park friends. Betty took her family on yearly road trips throughout the west and Canada. She taught her children and grandchildren\, “It’s a big world out there … stay humble but never settle. Go Have Fun!” \n\n\n\nFor many years\, she was a very beloved 6th grade teacher in Golfcrest Elementary School\, Houston\, Texas. One of her former students describes her as a “Female Clint Eastwood.” “She walked in a composed way\, measured and competent. Her slight smile indicated she knew something you did not which showed understated confidence. She invented Cool.” \n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:WASP in the Spotlight - ROBY ANDERSON
DESCRIPTION:ABOUT MERIEM “ROBY” ANDERSON\n\nMrs. Anderson was born in Eureka\, Kansas but attended school in Miami Beach\, Florida. She began flying in 1942 in Wichita\, Kansas\, traveling to and from on her motorcycle. Winters in Kansas included breaking horses for the Army in France. \nIn 1942 she joined the Civil Air Patrol in Wichita as a lieutenant\, transportation officer and pilot\, and became a WASP in October 1943. “I wanted to fly ever since I was a little kid\,” Mrs. Anderson said. “My parents weren’t real happy about it\, but they felt differently after I got my wings.” She was one of five women from Wichita’s air patrol who received WASP wings. She continued flying until the 1970s. \nAfter the program disbanded\, Mrs. Anderson married Alexander “Harry” Anderson in Kansas City. Together they welcomed a son\, Roby Charles\, and moved to her family’s ranch in 1945. Whether it was flying\, attending to her stable of animals including cows\, buffalo\, chickens and prize-winning Appaloosa horses\, listening to big band and reggae music\, or watching “Gunsmoke\,” she lived life to the fullest. She took her final flight on January 5\, 2018 at the age of 96. \n
