Charles Lindbergh

Today is an anniversary of the daring flight 

 by pioneering aviator Charles Lindbergh

across the Atlantic ocean in 1927 

to become the first human to stand 

in New York and Paris on the same day--

a feat which is duplicated in comfort daily 

by thousands now.

Lindbergh said:

"What civilization was not founded on adventure."

and

"We live today in the dreams of yesterday 

and, living those dreams,

dream again.
