Wed. April 10 | Author's Corner Presentation | 2:00:00 PM | 2:45:00 PM | Jack French "My story of creating and producing "Moon Glory"" | This is a talk about my creation and production of my sculpture "Moon Glory" a 65 lb. life size bust of Astronaut Dr. Buzz Aldrin . I started the sculpting process by molding directly from the face, shoulders, and hand of Astronaut Aldrin . The resulting artwork is not only a example of fine art , it is also a historic document displaying every pore, every rinkel and even the fingerprints of Buzz Aldrin . I molded his shirt, tie, cufflink and his finger ring in my original sculpture of Buzz . Standing on his hand are two miniatures of Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong in their space suits erecting the flag of the United States as they did on the moon. I have spent more than two hours with Astronaut Aldrin and have a number of comments and quotes from our conversations. I feel honored to not only have met Dr. Aldrin but to have created a sculpture molded from him, is more than a dream come true. The sculpture is cast in bronze and a thousand years from now a child will look upon the face of the sculpture, the face of one of the first humans, from the planet earth, to walk on the moon of the earth .

I started the sculpting process by molding directly from the face, shoulders, and hand of Astronaut Aldrin . The resulting artwork is not only a example of fine art , it is also a historic document displaying every pore, every rinkel and even the fingerprints of Buzz Aldrin . I molded his shirt, tie, cufflink and his finger ring in my original sculpture of Buzz . Standing on his hand are two miniatures of Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong in their space suits erecting the flag of the United States as they did on the moon. I have spent more than two hours with Astronaut Aldrin and have a number of comments and quotes from our conversations. I feel honored to not only have met Dr. Aldrin but to have created a sculpture molded from him, is more than a dream come true. The sculpture is cast in bronze and a thousand years from now a child will look upon the face of the sculpture, the face of one of the first humans, from the planet earth, to walk on the moon of the earth .

She was captivated as she watched the agile Wing Walker carefully maneuver himself across the wing of a 450 Stearman biplane. Her first reaction was, " How can this be legal? " And then she thought to herself, " I want to do that! " After the show, and out of curiosity, she asked if the flying circus was looking for another wing walker. She was told that they were , in fact, looking and that if she was serious, to follow up with an audition. She was very serious ! Jana Leigh passed the audition, and now nearly 20 years later, you can still find her suspended from the wing of an airplane high above the ground. Adventure lives in her soul! Jana Leigh DeSantis Sheaffer is also an author, transformational speaker, pilot, and avid aviation enthusiast. Her speaking engagements are geared toward inspiring the audience to realize their true passions, potentials and dreams. What may seem impossible isn't if you have the right mindset – she is living proof of that! | Presentation | Florida Air Museum | ||||||||||

April 13 | Author's Corner Presentation | 2:00:00 PM | 2:45:00 PM | Jana Leigh Sheaffer "The Adventures Of the Old Crow Biplane - The Wing Walker" | A wing walker by profession, Jana Leigh has traveled extensively, performing her daring wing walking feats for crowds both locally and throughout the U.S. She began her career in early 2004 at the Flying Circus Aerodrome in Bealeton ,Virginia when a friend took her there to see the air show. She was captivated as she watched the agile Wing Walker carefully maneuver himself across the wing of a 450 Stearman biplane. Her first reaction was, " How can this be legal? " And then she thought to herself, " I want to do that! " After the show, and out of curiosity, she asked if the flying circus was looking for another wing walker. She was told that they were , in fact, looking and that if she was serious, to follow up with an audition. She was very serious ! Jana Leigh passed the audition, and now nearly 20 years later, you can still find her suspended from the wing of an airplane high above the ground. Adventure lives in her soul! Jana Leigh DeSantis Sheaffer is also an author, transformational speaker, pilot, and avid aviation enthusiast. Her speaking engagements are geared toward inspiring the audience to realize their true passions, potentials and dreams. What may seem impossible isn't if you have the right mindset – she is living proof of that! | Presentation | Florida Air Museum | ||||||||||
