categories ranging from fashion, photography to aviation. In the Aviation

The presentation Lynda
Meeks gave to my high
school students was
fabulous! Her message
of perseverance,
determination, and
rising to life’s challenges
was timely, especially in
this tough economy.
Following the
presentation and Q & A,
many of my students
stayed afterwards to
ask follow-up questions
about careers, travel,
and living one’s dream.
Thank you for delivering
such an inspirational
message!
