Marijane's first intro to AAB was with her husband Dave but in time she also became a seaplane pilot. In 1978, Marijane lost Dave in a Goose accident. It was a difficult time for her but with the support of all her friends she became the co-pilot on the Grumman G-73 Mallards. Within a year or so, her love of flying had her join the ranks of American Inter-Island Airways (Convair 440) where she continued flying as the first officer. While she was  flying in the right seat she met the guy in the left seat. Vince Sipple. Marijane and Vince enjoyed life together until Vince's passing in August 2017. Marijane resides in Jacksonville, Florida.
