Okay - I'm guessing she was on the Titanic after it hit the iceberg and was writing a goodbye letter before she died.
John leaves home and is immediately confronted by a man in a black mask who bars his path. 1) Where was John going 2) How doe the masked man make a living?

Regarding the paper aeroplane: as far as I can see, there were also no instruction as to where the plane had to fly from, ergo, it could have been thrown from directly behind the line, where it would have crossed over a few times.
We could argue for hours about whether a ball of paper is a squashed-up paper areoplane or "just" a ball of paper. @Illumina: Is your statement sufficient to reason a solution, or is educated guesswork required? Do we need to ask questions? I can't see that its related to a ship sinking...she would not have died while writing the letter, but rather some time later. |

While the phrasing of the sentence seems to imply that the woman writing the letter also died (otherwise, we wouldn't know whether the question "What happened to her?" refers to the woman who died or the woman writing the letter).
But, to clear up confusion: "Is the woman who wrote the same as the woman who died?" |

Forgive my recent absence... I started answering questions when I realized that Donut almost nailed it, but he was right enough to get The Correct Answer.
She was a skywriter, writing a letter in a cabin of a plane. It crashed.

John was going to first base.
The masked man is either an umpire or a catcher. Here's another one: You are in a three-story building. In the attic are three simple lights -- normal incandescent bulbs in simple fixtures on the ceiling. Because of poor design, the switches for these three lights are in the basement. Because of poorer design, you don't know which switch is for which light. At least the switches are normal -- regular on/off switches, nothing fancy. Can you, in making just one trip between the basement and the attic, determine which light switch goes to which light for all three switches?
