My mother was Barbara L. Mann, 1921- 2002; Philadelphia, PA. She was always very proud of the fact that she was a trolley driver during World War II. Due to the shortage of men she was able to apply and train, eventually driving a route in 1943. After the war she turned to a more traditional job as a secretary. Later she married Robert Fulton, living in Pennsylvania and later Florida.
