Once I started bringing them up, I realized how many there were. Same with the women in our lives, eh? Starts with mama, and sisters, and grandmas, and aunts.... it truly is a wonderfully long list. And you reminded me of something - I hope you can indulge me. When I was at Officer Training School, one of the traditions was a "spirit shirt," which was a plain white t-shirt that your classmates decorated for you with drawings and quotes and so forth. One of them wrote on my shirt "I'm used to being under women," because during our discussion of the roles of women in the Air Force I mentioned (in those words, unfortunately) that as a prior enlisted member, I had already reported to female senior NCOs and officers. Funny how the memory works. Thank you, Jack!!boromaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02675528140006697597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-33158471384665707922020-03-30T12:19:17.132-04:002020-03-30T12:19:17.132-04:00Your mom was an extraordinary woman for sure.
