I worked in the Pointdexter building for years... one day, a co-worker asked if I had been to the museum... we went down the back stairs... and stepped out into the museum... it was strange... no one was there... outside doors were locked... but we walked around and looked at the displays... then went back upstairs to work.🤣🤣🤣

Omg I didn’t know this, my grandmother was the President of the Garment Union. She was the first woman ever to be President in those days. Winnie ran the business of the hats made in Garment Factory, she made all my grandmother’s hats. She was a strong wonderful woman like my grandmother. My grandmother had the ladies make my winter coats every year.
