Harriet Quimby with her Bleriot
Somebody you don’t know, but you should – The Blog Series – Since Somebody you don’t know, but you should – The story of Harriet Quimby was a tremendous success I decided this should become a blog series. If you have not had the chance or this is first introduction, please go back and read The story of Harriet Quimby. She was an utterly amazing woman and trailblazer.
Honestly, there should be a motion picture made about her life story. Harriet Quimby was the first woman to get a pilot’s license in the U.S. She also was the first woman to fly the English Channel alone. If any movie studios or production companies are interested, please contact me on my contact page. I have been developing this for a while. I feel there are a tremendous amount of women who receive no recognition at all. Their contributions are immeasurable! People may forget… but history never does. And guess what… I’ll find you and do my best to keep you alive!
One of my favorite things to do is research. It’s one of my preoccupations to dig into archives and discover long lost information or historical data on fascinating people or subject matters. I could go on for hours about this. I love People that history has long forgotten. But, the question is, history hasn’t forgotten them, we have! These gems are like buried treasure that teach me so much about life, art and the pursuit of happiness. They are priceless gems to enjoy. I hope you love these blogs as much as I love researching and writing them!
These Forgotten have LONG fallen off the radar! Put it to you this way, you wouldn’t even find these people misplaced in the cut-out bin filed under X or Z next to Abe Vigoda Live at the Hollywood Bowl. Side note: I love Abe Vigoda BTW – he is great!

I also wanted to take the time to thank everyone for all the great tweets, comments, emails, responses and support! I love to hear from you! Also if there is anyone you would like to me to consider to research and blog about for this blog series I am open to your suggestions.
Somebody you don’t know, but you should – The Blog Series will begin this week. Thank you again for your support!

Wow…..i can only say….WOW!!!! Wonderful job there my friend
! It is really remarkable of you to take the time to read, research and spread the word about these amazing and inspiring people who have been lost in the pages of history, they made a massive change and brought out a great difference, but their presence is barely discussed. As we read and come to know about them, we are so inspired and do feel that they didn’t get much recognition, but they did what they did the best, they brought a change, in many lives, they lived their lives as an example….which is truly amazing 
!!!
