Finally out of the snow and ice and back to good old rain in the Pacific Northwest.  In this episode, you will hear about the trailblazing Lola Greene Baldwin who was one of the first female police officers in the United States.  She helped open the door for women into what was exclusively a male profession.  Colleen is going to tell you two stories about airports and airplanes.  Hint, there are babies and fluffy animals involved, so you will want to hear about them.  Enjoy some inspiration!#WorldPeaceNow
