Christmas Cards, Hattie Meyers Junkin Papers, Box 2

Help transcribe these holiday cards as part of our #TCGreetings campaign! These Christmas cards are from the personal papers of Hattie Meyers Junkin. Always interested in aviation, Hattie Meyers Junkin (1896-1985), married George "Buck" Weaver ( -1924) in 1917, a civilian flying instructor at the military training center at Waco, TX. Weaver, along with Clayton Bruckner and Elwood "Sam" Junkin, founded the Advance Aircraft Company in 1921 (Weaver Aircraft Company, 1922-29; Waco Aircraft Co., 1929-1946). Following Weaver's death she married Junkin ( -1926), but he died shortly afterwards and control of Weaver Aircraft slipped away. In 1929 she married Ralph Stanton Barnaby (1893-1986), a glider pilot and aviation pioneer. In 1931 she became one of the first women to earn a glider class C license and attended the University of Washington (DC) studying law, although she was unable to take the bar exam. In 1940 she moved to Garden City, NJ, where she remained until moving to Alabama in the late 1970s. She spent much of her life writing, including articles on Weaver Aircraft.
