She said she was the inspiration for the famous poster..If she was or wasn't without her and all the other women that took up the tools during the war, chances are we wouldn't have won it.

Well that's all great but if it was up to her, we would have lost.

She quit after a few weeks because she didn't want to get injured.

It was a good material for discussion at the Friday lunch, we had a few WW2 vets there and they said the same thing - "great looking Gal in the poster but no where else to be found on the job" their words.

She said she was not "Rosie the riveter",and after reading the story it makes me think that she would not know a rivet from a rabbit. :D
