    and would she have trained as a mechanic at that age?

    Well, no, she signed on in Feb. 1945 when she was almost 19. The war in Europe ended in May, but the work didn't stop - she was still there at the end of July '45.

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.
