Orville Wright had a pre-lunch routine that he followed precisely. He entered the back door at noon, placed his hat on a chair, ate one cracker then sat and read until the housekeeper called him for lunch. He would leave and return minutes later to retrieve the bowler hat he'd left behind. In other words, the man who discovered the secrets of manned flight could not remember his hat according to Amanda Wright Lane.
Lane has appeared on TV and visited dignitaries and presidents.
When she took the role as family ambassador during the 2003 centennial at the Wright Brothers National Memorial, she saw nearly 40,000 people gathered to see a replica of their plane attempt a take-off.
