My name is Mabel Wolford Myrick, and I became
a Rosie when I was 18.
I had taken a civil service test, and immediately
upon graduation from high school, I was sent
to work for the War Department in the Pentagon
building.
I was placed in Procedures Section of the
Army Services Division, and there I transcribed
dictation from the colonel in charge, and
also from other Army officers
and civilians in management.
Some of the letters I typed had to be signed
by Secretary of War Henry Stimson, and I would
take those up to the fifth floor for his signature.
I am proud to have been a Rosie.
I had four brothers in service, and this was
my way of supporting them and serving my country.
