    I just need to throw in that this was during WWII when most of the jobs in the country that men usually filled were then filled with women. These ladies had a male boss, you can see him sitting at the end of the table next to the wall.
    I only bring this up because not everyone here is familiar with our Wartime economics, and the fact that women usually were at home being housewives both before and after the men let the positions open.
    The Rosies of that decade kept the country moving, and I am very proud of them for doing that. Thanks Tom Brydon. : )
