Howdy Melinda! I knew you would have been interested in this story, I think it's quite amazing. And they'll find the rest of her plane I'm sure.

I think I always hoped they would find that she had lived for years surviving on a desert island.

Yes I can understand that. Their search and rescue methods back then weren't very good or they probably would have found her in time because she was alive for awhile at least. I mean, at least for days...I don't know if that little island had fresh water on it though.
