She was a babe then, and I came upon an article weeks ago about another woman from that time called Susan Anton who performs in her fifties in Vegas today.
She also was one heck of a looker as well.

Then there are the women-in-combat zealots. They parade girls like PFC Jessica Lynch as living proof that women can handle the fierce demands of front line combat. You may recall that war heroine Lynch later admitted about her Iraqi mishap, I did not shoot, not a round, nothing. I went down praying to my knees. And thats the last I remember.That's a dishonest misquoting, you left out the part about her gun jamming. I don't think women should be in combat, but a gun jam generally isn't determined by the presence or lack of a Y-chromosome.
The Palestine, Wirt County, native spoke of her childhood, smalltown life and the stories -- true and false -- that made her a household name in America's homes. "My weapon jammed," said Lynch, who was a member of the Fort Bliss, Texas-based 507th Maintenance Co. at the time. "I don't want to take credit for anything I didn't do. I had to tell the truth." Media reports had Lynch wounded by gunshots and stabbings after her capture last March. It was also reported that she used her weapon to fend off Iraqi soldiers. "It's so untrue," Lynch said. "I could've went along and told everyone I was a hero and killed all of these people. But it didn't happen."

It was the first t-shirt iron-on I ever wore...1977 that was.
I saw a recent picture of her someplace on the web (can't remember where) and she has NOT aged well at all. Better to remember her as she was then.

I was told once that there would never be an all women firefighting team because they can't handle the equipment on their own....Is that true?????

Research shows the presence of women raises the standards of ethical behavior and lowers corruption. Hillary Rodham Clinton
"By 1995, both Starr's prosecutors and congressional investigators were focused on the alleged coverup, which they believed involved an elaborate ruse to hide Hillary Clinton's Rose Law Firm billing records. In January 1996, Hillary Clinton became the only first lady to be called before a grand jury, convened by Starr. Starr's office subsequently drafted an indictment of Hillary Clinton but decided not to press forward with a case against her, according to recent testimony by one of Starr's top prosecutors."

Depends on the woman. I want to say it's not true because I've done it. I knew I wasn't going to be a firefighter long when the guys wouldn't let me do a 35 foot ladder even though I lift it. Very irritating. I was also blessed with big legs and carrying heavy packs was easy for me. I'm short too and that was blessing when coming to crawling down through a basement window. Firefighting is a pure boys club and well I hate to say it but on Long Island, it's a racist club at that :( I don't wish it was easier for women in a quota way but well let's just say as a young woman with multiracial heritage I was relieved when my mom demanded I leave :(
