The GREATEST GENERATION, but also, THE LOST POETS SOCIETY...

Last, for now, this signed poster signed by more than fifty WASP.  A couple of them signed twice.  I got this from the niece and nephew-in-law of WASP Florence “Shutsy” Reynolds.  At the Homecoming event at the WASP Museum in Sweetwater (turns out I have the originals to a couple photos they have copies of on display, which amused the daylights out of me to see) this past April, someone donated this same poster, but signed by 16 WASP, for the fundraiser auction.  It closed at $8,500.  I’ve been going back and forth on donating this one to next year’s auction, but I just don’t think I could part with it.  (I have a touring exhibit I’ve been working on trying to put together.  It’s a long-term project since it’s entirely self-funded since how else would I get what’s needed for it?) But I do have another poster signed by five WASP plus the artist that I have yet to frame that I’ll donate when the call goes out this year for fundraiser auction items.

 

Nice collection of books and signatures. I’m out of “Likes” so consider your posts as Liked.

Here is a yearbook from a "Rosie the riveter"  GM  aircraft factory worker . 

She lived in Edison, NJ and likely worked in Linden, NJ producing Wildcat fighters

but conceivably could have worked in Trenton producing Avenger fighter-bombers.

Ironically, her name is missing from the yearbook.
