Known as "America's Youngest Ambassador" for a letter she wrote to then-new Soviet leader Yuri Andropov. She was killed in a plane crash on 8/25/1985 along with her father.

This was big news when it happened (the letter and her death.)

1. I remember all of that. It was big news everywhere, but huge news here in ME. One of
my pals was so smitten with her. He was devastated when she died.
