Beryl Markham

Beryl Markham was the first person to fly solo across the Atlantic east to west. Yes, Beryl is a she......not a he! She grew up in East Africa and was a friend of all the characters from the book and movie "Out of Africa." The only book I know that she wrote was "West With the Night", and it contains one of my most favorite quotes of all time. Most of you won't be able to relate, but a few will. Here it is:


"Looking back on my life in Africa, I feel it might altogether be described as the existence of a person who had come from a rushed and noisy world, into a still country. A country so lovely, as if the contemplation of it could in itself be enough to make you happy all of your life."



Thanks Beryl!
