“Mom co-piloted a B-24 where she met Dad,” Toby’s son Lex Felker (@n4lf) said. “Asleep with his aviator shades on.”
Toby and her family lived in Wiesbaden in the late 1950s, where Lex delivered Stars and Stripes to servicemen and their families.
Years later, after her children were grown, Toby involved herself in the successful effort to have WASPs receive full military recognition. She received the Congressional Gold Medal and is buried in Arlington Cemetery.
Thank you for your service, Toby!
