Miss Sadie Ireton, Telephone and Telegraph Operator. Willard Asylum, 1869 - 1886. Willard NY
A friend of mine was feeling historical and went to Willard Insane Asylum and found a book. He saw this YL doinf CW and thought of me first thing.... "Niece would love to see a YL doing CW"
Thanx so much Hank (AB2XG) for thinking of me. I appreciate this information and picture. I wish she had a callsign .. I wish we could find it....
