Worth Repeating: Rosie the Riveter Lives!

WORTH-REPEATING“Worth Repeating” is a weekly feature on the EngAGE Blog that will bring you previous posts that we think are still timely, interesting, or just plain fun! From 9/18/13: 

Elinor Otto, 93,  became a “Rosie the Riveter” back in 1942 at Rohr Aircraft Corp. in Chula Vista. You’ll still find her working on the assembly line today at Long Beach’s Boeing C-17 plant. Read the wonderful story of this energetic woman, and a bit about the history of the local aerospace industry, here in an LA Times article by Samantha Schaefer. [Hat tip to EngAGE Founder and Executive Director Tim Carpenter for this story.]
