BBC reported on Oct. 5 that Tizi Hodson, 70, of Lincolnshire, England, sent off an application hoping to become a motorcycle stunt rider in January 1976. Recently, the letter was returned to her with a note: “Late delivery by Staines Post Office. Found behind a draw(er). Only about 50 years late.” “I was so disappointed because I really, really wanted to be a stunt rider on a motorcycle,” she said. Instead, her life’s work has included being a snake handler, horse whisperer, aerobatic pilot and flying instructor.
