My mom, now 92 and doing pretty well, worked with Rosie Riveter types putting tail sections on Boeing planes during WWII. She and my father were engaged when he went off to war. She didn't see him for 3 years. She got a few letters from him and had his photo, but the part that bothered her most was that she couldn't quite remember what his voice sounded like. After coming back, he called her from New York and she instantly remembered. What a remarkable generation.
