]]> Comment on WWII – Women at war by Harry Miller http://www.coloradanmagazine.org/2011/12/01/wwii-women-at-war/#comment-1053 Harry Miller Sat, 28 Jan 2012 09:27:31 +0000 http://www.coloradanmagazine.org/?p=4943#comment-1053 My mother was a WAVE during WW2. She was stationed at the Pentagon in Washington DC as a 'Radioman Third Class'. She met my father on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial both in their dress uniforms. I have 8mm movies taken by my mother of that day. She is now 87 years old and still speaks fondly of those days. She married my father in 1950 and had to take an Honorable Discharge from the Navy. WAVES were not allowed to be married. She then moved to Germany where my father was then stationed. İ spent four years in the Navy during Vietnam and a couple years after. When İ was in the Navy, women could only hold 'clerical' positıons at land bases (no sea or combat duty). Today all the fields are open to whoever is qualified. The US military de-segregated in 1947 and has always been ahead of the prevailing social norms. My mother was a WAVE during WW2.

Neal Beidleman's courage to not only hike Mt. Everest, but to return again after tragedy gifts us with rich perspective. I seldom read the Coloradan, but this title and subject drew me in. Even got me to come online so that I could easily share it:) Thank you Neal for living through this and sharing your story, and thank you Lisa for doing a terrific job on the write-up. The photos are gorgeous! There is a lot to take away from this story. Neal Beidleman’s courage to not only hike Mt. Everest, but to return again after tragedy gifts us with rich perspective.

Dear Mike,
Despite our differences, we both love the community our town creates. Although I have to ROFL when the local dukes and countesses line up to pay 10K to meet barefoot Michelle Obama at the castle General Dynamics built four blocks from my Communist public housing house. Rome in the 4th Quarter or Versailles?
