I've always admired those women who "went before us"... who just "did it" leaving a legacy and an example to follow.

There are two that come easily to mind: Steve Shirley, who wrote the book, "Let IT Go"; and the other who didn't write a book but left close family to recall her exploits, Kay McNulty Mauchly Antonelli.

I may not have been as courageous as them or been that pioneering, but if I ever write a book about my life (or record memories as I see fit in this web site) with its 'successes' and 'failures', you can be the judge of whether I inspire you as they inspire me.
