Welcome to IWETHEY!

New Found The link for it
They are creating a Rosie the Riveter/World War II Home Front National Historical Park as a tribute to them. Here's the link.

[link|http://www.rosietheriveter.org/|http://www.rosietheriveter.org/]

They are asking for people to send in stories, etc. and add suggestions about what to do with the park. :)

New Good sleuthing, Owlet!
And Richmond is just a stoned throw across The Bay.

Alas, I doubt that my aunt wrote much of her experiences (though she was a teacher and wrote well). I'd add her to the list, but cannot recreate the stories with any accuracy, and there is enough BS 24/7 already, so I won't fake it - that side of the family was unlikely to have thought of anything like an "oral history" from this magnificent gal of yore. (I have no excuse, either)

It's an appropriate locale, too - not far from Mare Island (the famous throwaway Victory ships designed by Henry J. Kaiser) - he of Kaiser Permanente, the first HMO -- before that idea became a Enron-style profit-center for suits / middle-men / drones.

Odd to think this is the first?? monument to Rosie in the whole fscking USA! THAT's how much these events have been sublimated since.. by the male movers/shakers, movin and shakin in them boots.


Thanks,

Ashton
New You're welcome. :)
After she was being discussed in here some, I figured people might like the link. Besides, you can always make suggestions or ask your family what they might like to see there.

And I don't know if you can send photos or just her name to be added to the list, but you can check out the link and see. :)
