Hats off to another Rosie the Riveter! Here's the 1st paragraph of Alice Hughes' syndicated column about then-Rosalind Palmer, July 1943: Probably the most popular pet name around the country for a woman factory worker is "Rosie the Riveter. It is a national gagbut not in our town. We really have a Rosie the Riveter, who is Rosalind Palmer, 19, a dark-tressed society doll, who has just finished a year of hard work as a night shift welder at the Sikorsky aircraft plant at Bridgeport. Conn. The song was a hit and its title a popular appellation for months by the time Hughes met her in New York and was thus inspired to celebrate her in the July 17, 1943 installment of her syndicated column. Her latter-day whimsical notion that Hughes' column about her inspired the song notwithstanding, hats off.

As I have written in other notes of condolence to families of U.S. Servicemen and women: "Thank you for your service." The contribution of the war workers was just as crucial as that of the millions of soldiers, sailors and airmen. Along with the aircraft you turned out you also inspired a song that was a moral booster for the men and women overseas.The song helped to recruit thousands of women to sign up for factory jobs who might have otherwise stayed at home orworked in more "feminine" jobs.

Condolences to the family for your loss, and we thank Rosalind for her service in the war effort. I had never heard that she was an heiress; what an exemplary illustration of character, that she would get in and roll up her sleeves and work as hard as anyone else, and not just for a quick photo op as so many do today. May Rosalind rest in peace, and may God comfort her family and friends.
