Mom

Nineteen and in the Women's Auxiliary Corps (WACs).  Born in 1922 to an English mother and American father, she was one of the hardest working women I have known.  An excellent student, brilliant at Bridge, designer quality seamstress, she went to college in her thirties.  Four years in three as her money was running out.  She had two children, twenty-two months apart.  Always wanted to be a physician.

Educated in geology, oceanography and post graduate work in Physics, she was also my mother and passed eleven years ago. 

Happy 91st birthday, Mom!
