- Worked as a bucker and riveter in the parts department for the B24 modification program at Northwest Airlines in St. Paul, MN, from June 1943 - Aug 1945. On September 13, 1943 she reported to her first day of work at Northwest Airlines Modification Center at Holman Field, becoming a “Rosey the riveter”. She worked on the B-24 Liberator, wiring instrument panels and radar. Her favorite job was working in the ‘krib’ – the parts department. When she started at Northwest Airlines, she earned 60 cents per hour and had to pass an exam in order to increase her wage. Her last day of work at Northwest was August 23, 1945 due to a reduction in the workforce needs – the war was almost over. Lois then returned home.
