Aim at a high mark and you will hit it. No, not the first time, nor the second and maybe not the third...

ABOUT ANNIE Annie Oakley played a significant role in shaping the future for women. As a 19th century female pioneer, “she learned how to combine talent, skill, beauty, femininity, and humility as an entrepreneur, businesswoman, athlete, wife and as a genteel lady with steely determination” for success in all aspects of her life. As a superb entertainer, she brought verve and luster to the arena of life. *Quote from The Life and Legacy of Annie Oakley
