Grandmother Succeeds In Aerospace
Photograph description:
A Burbank woman sales representative in the aerospace industry thinks that far too few members of her sex are entering technical fields. "They're scared of breaking into a so-called man's field," said Mrs. Eva MacQuarrie, an employee of Hydrodyne division of the Donaldson Company Inc., North Hollywood. Mrs. MacQuarrie, a grandmother of five, sells seals, filters and machined bellows which are used in some of our nation's most modern aircraft. Her clients are engineers from firms such as Rocketdyne, Atomics International and North American Aviation.

She was a brave woman to buck the system, but I loved her encouragement to other girls and women. Great photo too, George!

A courageous woman who stayed in her lane, a lane with a very wide berth.

Those we more honorable times when businesses valued an employee's worth according to their knowledge, skill, and work ethic instead of age. Today, that same woman would've been let go upon turning 50 to make room for a younger person. Correction. That woman would be let go today at any age to be replaced by AI.
