    Helen Czech, per a newspaper article digitalcollections.lib.umanitoba.ca/islandora/object/uofm...

    d156156156 Thanks for the information! The article states that she flew from Whitehorse to Edmonton because women weren't allowed on the Alaska Highway (very strange, considering many women were involved with the construction of said highway) but doesn't state how she got from Edmonton to Winnipeg. There are other articles that mention support teams so perhaps she travelled in a support vehicle.
