RIP - Rosie the Riveter

[cbelt3]

I spent a few hours one afternoon talking to one such lady at a celebration at work. She started working at the factory in 1942 "after the boys went to war" and was one of only three women who stayed in 1945 "when the boys came home". She had worked as a welder for war production. Ended up in the office, and retired after 57 years. She died 10 year ago. Tough as nails, but every inch a lady.
