Living History Series: Amelia Earhart
2025-03-15 11:00 - 12:00 | Taylor Pavilion, 500 Ocean Ave., Belmar, NJ, 07719, United States
This outstanding flyer has amazed at the public with daring voyages over sea and land, proving that one individual can achieve what has been considered the unachievable!
Her record-breaking accomplishments have made her the heroine of men and women all over the world.
And now, in a special press conference to discuss her upcoming flight around the world, we are pleased to present the country is most recognizable spokeswoman for the field of Aviation, Miss Amelia Earhart.
Amelia Earhart continues to fascinate and to inspire. The charismatic, athletic, risk-taking tomboy could charm you with her sparkling eyes, motivate you with her passion, could convince you with her skill. Although she was born in Kansas, Ms. Earhart had solid Philadelphia connections: Amelia attended the Ogontz School, now part of Penn State University, flew a piper cub from Coatesville and spoke about aviation in Germantown. Ms. Earhart was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross as the first aviatrix to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean. In addition to actually flying, she wrote aviation books, helped form the Ninety-Nines to support other female pilots, and taught classes at Purdue University’s aviation department. Earhart was active in the political arena as a member of the National Woman’s Party and as a strong supporter of the Equal Rights Amendment. A friend to Eleanor and Franklin Roosevelt, Ms. Earhart took Eleanor flying after FDR told her he didn’t want Eleanor piloting a plane. Pat Jordan has also flown a plane and like Amelia, she enjoys exploration and adventure.
Pat Jordan is an accomplished actor, operatic singer and historian. She has worked with the American Historical Theatre since 1992. She earned a degree in theatre from Villanova, training at Juilliard Opera Workshops, and has had years of experience with the German Theatre Guild and AHT, Ms. Jordan’s roles have included Shakespearean heroines, Victorian Music Hall comediennes, and opera divas. A devoted teacher, Pat has led history camps, taught at the Institute for the Gifted and at Bryn Mawr College. She was honored in 2009 by the Darlington Arts Center for her many years of teaching as part of the award-winning Chester Youth Theatre Outreach Program.
Pat Jordan has appeared at venues that include the White House Visitors Center, Library of Congress, Smithsonian Institute, National Archives, Franklin Institute, Peddler’s Village (Cock & Bull Restaurant), National Constitution Center, Union League, National Portrait Gallery, Deshler-Morris House and at Mount Vernon. Pat has performed this program in venues throughout the United States giving voice to the stories of this courageous, inspirational woman.
