My Mom was a Rosie the Riveter.  She ran 3 brake presses that made parts for the navigational system in B52 bombers.  She was 5 feet tall and weighed 97 pounds.  She "retired" when she was 8-1/2 months pregnant.

RIP all you sweet Rosies.  We owe you a debt of gratitude. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
