I love the designation of Troy as the City of Women. My grandmother, Ella Cooney, and her four sisters all worked at the collar factory from quite a young age. . Ella left school at the level of sixth grade to work in the collar factory as their father met his demise at his workplace, a local quarry.
Freihofer’s made the right choice if you go by their wares being ever present in my grandmother’s house!
I love the idea of this exhibition and, as always, anything involving the history of women in the workforce. And the toaster display is so great. Madison is my alma mater, maybe I can bribe someone to give me a ride up there for the day!

The exhibit sounds swell.
Tina, I love hearing about your family! Work really defines so much of life.

OOH! It would be so great to meet you!
