In 1942 Bertha Clarke went to Boeing in search of a job. Her husband, a military policeman, was stationed in Seattle and her allotment from his pay only went so far.
“I needed a little pocket money,” Clarke explained.
On Tuesday representatives from Boeing came to her home in Mexico to thank Clarke for her work. The occasion was the approach of Clarke’s 100th birthday, so they brought gifts – books, collectibles and the model of a B-17, the plane she helped to build.
