Re: History Day Project - Jacqueline Cochran and the WASPs
Dear Rig,
Once again I want to thank you for your support and encouragement in my History Day project
on Jacqueline Cochran and the WASPs. When I completed at the State Competition on May 10-
12, 1996, I made it into the finalist round. There were 8 finalists out of 48 competitors.
I was very pleased with my performance and the quality of the research. I received many nice
comments on my portrayal of Jackie and have been encouraged to continue to compete in the
History Day competition next year, although I will have to chose a new topic. On June 11, I have
been invited to give my performance to a local Rotary Club.
Your willingness to share experiences and thoughts with me has been greatly appreciated. As
soon as the video camera from my school is fixed, I will be making a video tape of my
performance. Let me know if you would like a copy of this tape and I would be happy to send it
to you along with a copy of my report.
Thank you again for all your help. I have gotten to know so many wonderful people while doing
my research and that in itself is a great reward. Please keep in touch.
Sincerely,
Tracie M. Johnston
