Daughter
She worked at Combes Aviation in Denver, cleaning planes and patching bullet holes. One day while at work, the engine of the plane she was working on started. Since the planes were at Combes for maintenance, this was not unusual. But the plane then took off for a test flight not realizing that someone was working on the plane at the time. It did not bother her at all. She just kept right on working.
