Rest in Peace Geraldine/Rosie! Many ladies at our annual CAF - Missouri Wing "Hangar Dance" dress up like "Rosie" to honor the women that worked in our factories to help win WWII.

Dr. Doyle was my dentist for 24 years. Mrs. Doyle would let me sit at her desk and draw pictures while my parents would be in for their appointment and the next time I'd come back she'd show me what I had drawn.

Another of the "Greatest Generation" passes.....please accept my heartfelt condolences. Thank you, Mrs. Doyle for being the inspiration for Rosie.

The poster was an inspiration not only for your generation but all those to follow. Rosie is an icon that...
