When l told Lowell "good-by"
at Glover Field last March and
watched his bird.like plane until it
finally disappeared from sight it
was with the utmost confidence
that my boy would return to ME
In September.
I had perfect faith in his ability
as q flyer and supreme trust in
the One above that He would en-.
swer my daily prayers for safety
Don't worry, mother, I will
surely return safely" were Lowell's
last words when he kissed me
good.by.
This flight around the world has
been the one absorbing theme in
our nome since Lowell,S selection
as one OF the honored pilots.
We have studied the map of the
world as never before and marked
with heavy line az each advance
OF the flight was reported. Lowell's
father claims the honor of the map
marking and gets thrill every
time new mark Is made.
In our ina gtnation we have 40.
companied the boys on their entire
trip and my love has gone with
Lowell and his companions in each
ana every mile OF the long, long
journey.
There was great Joy when we
learned the aviators had made the
dangerous trip across the frozen
waters Of the north. Now we know
Lowell IL nearing home and we are
getting more excited every day and
our hearts are filled in the thought
we shall soon welcome our dear
boy home.
I am surely proud Of my SON

1t rejoices me that Lowell was
named by the Government as be-
Ing capable OF a responsible posi-.

and, too, am proud of his faith.

And now as the great flight
draws to an end let the world honor

but I just want to take Lowell in
my arms again, feel his lips on my
cheek ana hear him say again th0
