I am well acquainted with Janet, and would like to correct the writer's assumption that Janet Lee Simpson has an "insatiable taste for danger." That is actually the very opposite of her true nature, I believe. A more true statement is that Janet has an insatiable taste for flying. She loved learning to be a pilot, which she mastered, and she loved flying. She did not equate piloting a plane with danger, but rather with the closest to nature and her higher power. Fear and danger never played a part in it. thank you for allowing me to post this.
