Deb- yep, pre Title IX. Forest ranger came up for me too. In college,  
the preference/apptitude tests really really had the women's version  
on pink paper and the men's on blue. I took both: my blue paper one  
said architect, surgeon; the pink version said interior designer, nurse.

Meanwhile, back at the shop, folks are discussing the parking meter  
spot conundrum. What about an artists'/ historians' project: paint pix  
of famous dead local people on the pavement (street) and key the meter  
money taker  w those faces.

I did learn to type but handling rivets, cotter pins and, yes,  
contemplating the modulus of elasticity is a whole lot more fun. It's  
a strange world.

It's good to have a social worker in this group.

cheers!
