“George Carlin once said: “I like it when a flower, or a little tuft of grass grows through a crack in concrete. It’s so fuckin’ heroic!”
My mom Cynthia Vernon was always my hero. And then, I learned something about her I had never known. She was a Hidden Figure at NASA. [Link to movie – https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/hidden_figures/]
This is her story (as published in Working Mother)” (Click on “as publ…” or see Link Below)
I took a screen shot of the Working Mother web page to give a face to the authors (daughter and mother).

Wow, this is a fabulous story. Kind of gave me chills, in a good way.
I thought the same thing, when I read her life story. Thank you for stopping by Luanne and thanks for the comment. Oh, and thanks for the book you wrote “Kin Types”, I got mine today and it s wonderful.
Thank you so much!
