Special Guest Clyde Pangborn

Salina Danko, Education and Volunteer Coordinator for the Wenatchee Valley Museum introduced "Clyde Pangborn."

Clyde was channeled by Jake Lodato, Public Relations Officer for the Spirit of Wenatchee, and local Clyde Pangborn aficionado.

Clyde (aka Jake) provided a history of his life including his birth in the Brewster area and upbringing in Idaho, his acquisition of a plane from the US Army after WW1, and his relentless effort to fly nonstop across the Pacific Ocean.

You can learn more about Clyde and other important people of our past on Saturday, February 27 during the Museum's living history program.  The other figures from the past joining Clyde Pangborn on Feb 27th will be Susie Vickrey, Ludwig Solberg, Gordon Stuart, and Ida Burts.
