My mother is on the front of the motorcycle. On the back is her best friend at the time. Mom was an ambulance driver in the Royal Air Force during WWII. She was assigned this job as she was one of the few women who drove. This captures her spirit, her toughness, her sense of adventure. It captures her before she met my dad, came to the U.S. and married in N.Y.C. City Hall the same day, the moved to El Dorado, Kan. She was one of seven and the only one to leave England. She shared many stories of this time, and though she said, "There are no winners in a war; everyone loses," there were friendships and adventures that gave her much joy. Until she was 90, she still drove as if she were in an ambulance.
