In 2005, I founded an nonprofit organization to teach veterans to learn to manage projects that benefit West Virginians. Our first project is well underway and most popular. It is the "Rosie the Riveter" project, where we interview West Virginia women in their home settings across the state to learn what these women did, felt, knew and did not know. We are sure we are collecting valuable information. Many American women were Rosies, but the full story of their lives and what this experience meant to them is not really told. Are we possible partners? 304 / 776-4743 P. S. We are helping Jay Wertz locate WWII soldiers, including on on our board of Directors, Hershel Woodrow ("Woody') Williams.
