One cannot imagine what she endured while she was at school there. The women who went first endured so much.

More power to her because I know what it's like to be the first female. I was the first Black Female Cashier, in 1967, to be hired by the grocery store chain, Winn-Dixie. The chain had hired a Black Male as a Bag Boy, but no females before I was hired. I went through some terrible times because of it, but my manager and an extremely caring older Cashier showed me true love. I will never forget what they did.

Remember that as I lived in NC. She was brave and focused.

Daybonn, Sadly, I didn't have to imagine it. I was one of the first females in my squadron in the USAF.

The horrible treatment of cadets was featured in the movie The Lords of Discipline base on the Pat Conroy book.
