I first met Vi in 1992 when I began my research on the WASP. She has been an inspiration ever since. Her courage and fearlessness is daunting. She so inspired me that I named a character after her -- to honor her and other women of the WASP. I will miss her greatly.<br /><br />Matia Karrell<br />Red Door Films<matia karrellnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5303268314503018808.post-28269826989745030142011-04-15T15:31:08.224-07:002011-04-15T15:31:08.224-07:00Vi was truly special.

Her indomitable spirit and can-do attitude were an inspiration to so many. I don't think I will ever know anyone with as much energy, spunk, adventurousness, intelligence and caring.<br />I will always remember that you taught me to reach for the skies!<br />Christine Bonn<br />ProducerChristine Bonnhttp://www.wingsofsilvermovie.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5303268314503018808.post-54356188404543318802011-04-13T23:42:36.475-07:002011-04-13T23:42:36.475-07:00Our thoughts and Prayers are with the family and f...Our thoughts and Prayers are with the family and friends of Vi, and with her comrades in the WASP. I know it is a great lost, as the loss of each member of the "Greatest Generation" goes west. It is because of them and their sacrifice that we enjoy the freedom that we have.<br /><br />Jim McKinleyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
