Memories of Gifford-Wood
The post on Thursday about Gifford-Wood and its government contract during World War I to build "gas generating machines for aviation purposes" inspired Bob Tomaso to share this picture of the employees in the steel shop at Gifford-Wood. The date on the picture indicates that it was taken on October 10, 1957.
Tomaso's father, Marco, appears in the first row, the third from the left. Interestingly, there was one woman in the steel shop crew in 1957. There were probably more during the World War II years. Tomaso told Gossips that his father met his mother, Frances, at Gifford-Wood, in the 1940s, when they both worked at the plant.
