During World War II she worked at Fairchild Aircraft in Hagerstown, MD, as part of the nation’s war effort on the home front when thousands of American women entered the work force to help support the war. She took 200 hours of Woodcraft Training before being accepted at the Fairchild Plant. She then became a riveter on a C-119 Flying Boxcar, riveting ailerons and cowlings. She was recognized as a “Rosie the Riveter” - - Heroines during WWII and as part of our American History. She’s been honored at many events, parades, and interviewed by Ann Curry on MSNBC “Real Life Rosie the Riveter Reminiscence”.
