A New Start
Wednesday, February 21 , 2007
Time for a new start. It isn't often we get new starts, but I am proclaiming one today. Funny how death will make you reconsider everything about your own life.
I am still pursuing this dissertation on the Motor Maids as well as other projects for them. I have continued to give conference presentations about the group and in fact, have one to present tomorrow at a Women's Studies conference. I'm really looking forward to that.
I took my comprehensive exams in the fall and passed two, failed one. Everyone that took the exams failed at least one area. It never makes you feel good, but at least you know you are not alone. And for me, everyone that took the exam I failed, failed it likewise. Hmmmmm, makes you wonder what is going on here, doesn't it? I retake that exam on April the 6th and I have been reading my little heart out in that area. Surely this time I'll pass :o)!!!
Meanwhile, I am attempting to move forward with the dissertation. It is hard to focus on that though when you know you have to pass these exams to even graduate. I am confident, however, that the second time will be the charm and I am moving forward with that confidence.
Hug a friend and kiss you your pet and life will be good!!

Glad you are moving forward once again. Life is so good to us. It is such a blessing to have good relationships and friends in this life. You are one. Keep up the march to the exam in April. Want me to help you study? What subject is it anyway?
Hi Dianna,
I'm the daughter of a Motor Maid, Susan G. Pittmann. I was looking for information about her membership and trophys for a documentary that is being made in part about her life: for information you can look here http://pittmannpuckett.blogspot.com
I also have a blog if you are interested oasiswritinglink.blogspot.com
(I'm Cynthia S. Pittmann)
I'm also in a PhD program (in literature) I wish you the best of luck on your writing. (I'm doing that now.) If you have a suggestion about how I might research this, I'd be pleased with the help. Also, If you want to chat/email or talk to me, I'd be happy to help you in any way that I can.

Hi Dianna,
I am currently working on my final project for my master's degree in liberal studies and museum studies at the University of WI-Milwaukee. My project is a look at women's motorcycle clubs and creating an exhibit catalog. I wanted to look at both the Motor Maids and the Women in the Wind. I hope to compare and contrast the clubs and look at the reasons why women join motorcycle clubs and the benefits they reap from doing so. How is your dissertation coming? I feel that you would be a valuable resource for me. Please let me know if you would be willing to share information. Thank you!
