Billie’s dad knew that Peggy was special, and of course he wanted the best for his son. She was beautiful, smart, kind, and the only woman working as a mechanic – a job normally reserved for men. At that time, most women just wanted to marry well-to-do men and raise children. They had no aspirations for anything else. Peggy was different, she wanted to do more with her life. Whether it was ambition or indifference towards being a simple homemaker, she chose to serve her country by solving mechanical issues. Billie’s dad saw this in her, that uniqueness which he felt was perfect for his son.
