Not sure how to get in touch with Ms Lewis but you have a picture posted under WW11, Womens Place in War, of a female photographer standing beside a plane with a camera. My family is certain that this is a picture of our mother, Margaret Fretwell Asbury, who passed away yesterday, Nov 15 2009 at the age of 88. She was a WAC stationed in Arizona during WW11 and we have pictures of her taken at that time and they are identical. Thought you might want to know, we were certainly surprised and elated!! We still have her uniforms by the way, she was a sargeant.
I’m sorry to hear of your loss. Are you referring to the recruiting poster? I think she looks very confident and professional in that photograph!
