OAKLAND, California: Flying a 1935 Lockheed Electra 10E, San Antonio businesswoman Linda Finch set off on a journey to retrace Amelia Earhart's doomed around-the-world route, sixty years to the day after Earhart took off.

At the same time, some of her repertoire seems a bit mature for an adolescent who has yet to have her first date. On the semi-risque song My Baby, she sings, "My baby is a full-time lover ...
