05/02-- Sally Putnam Chapman, the granddaughter of Amelia Earhart's husband, George Putnam, invokes the aviation icon's life and spirit at The Purdue Airport today (Thursday, 5/2) during an event to celebrate the family's gift of Earhart memorabilia to Purdue. Chapman's family donated 492 items ‹ including rarely seen personal and private papers, such as poems, a flight log and a prenuptial agreement ‹ to Purdue Libraries' Earhart collection. The new acquisitions make Purdue's collection, at more than 5,000 items, the largest, most comprehensive repository of materials relating to the life, career and mysterious disappearance of the famous aviator.
