You are correct in the last black and white photo Rolie is the furtherst right and the colorized one she is 2nd from right. I know as she was my grandmother

I just found out about this empty train house and the story behind it and will pass along.
I am thrilled to read too that these marvellous women pilots existed as too often this is excluded from our history. I will definitely get your book. Thanks for your investigative work!

We’ve been back many times over the years. It is such a beautiful spot and the Deer Lake trail is close at hand. Thanks for the interesting post.

We celebrated a few anniversaries at this lovely restaurant, including our 25th, fifteen years ago! I love this place so much and the whole area. It’s a gorgeous spot and I’m so happy it wasn’t torn down and turned into condo towers….I hope it will remain forever.

The real pioneers of this area and this era being recognized, as they should be. I bet women were not allowed to vote, and do many other things back when Rolie learned to fly. The Hart House is stunning, even to this day.

It looks as if she is furthest right, judging by placement of her signature and hairstyle.

I’ll send you a photo!

I found it very interesting. The photos of the Women Pilots really gave me a sense of their friendship and love of flying. I have been to the restraunt now known as Harthouse a few times (over 30 years) and a couple weddings out on the the lakeshore. I will do further readings, based on your references so thanks also for including them. There must be interesting stories behind most of the old mansions built at that time.
