Hats off to that lady. She's a hero of a different sort.
My sixth grade teacher was building aircraft in Southern California plants during WWII and she was a woman of character.
from the article...
"When I go to heaven," she says with a laugh, "I hope God keeps me busy!"
What a great testament to work ethic and attitude.

Pretty cool; thanks for that. Mom would've been 90 and started with P-38's and quit after the SR-71. Listening to this lady's story brings back memories of a similar work ethic.
