93 year old Rosie the Riveter still going strong

"Elinor Otto picked up a riveting gun in World War II, joining the wave of women taking what had been men's jobs. These days she's building the C-17."

Talk about a hard working gal!

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.

Glad you found this.
Great to hear about history & good character, ethics all rolled into one.
