Description
Julie was born in Rhode Island where she lived until she was 16 years old. At that age, her mother moved to Pasadena, California, and Julie graduated from Pasadena High School. After high school,
she attended Pasadena City College, hoping to further her drafting studies to include architectural drafting. In 1958, before we all became "politically correct", Julie was told that she would not be allowed to take the second semester of drafting because she was the only female in the class and the boys did not want her there. An uncle, a career Navy man, suggested that she join the Navy and go to drafting school. Julie joined the Navy and became a WAVE in February 1959 only to learn that the drafting school had been closed to women in January. Julie asked to "get out" but was told she had to stay. Not only did she have to stay, and not become a draftsman, but she would have to go to school to become a Radioman and learn electronics and Morse Code. At that point, Julie realized that life is strange: she was not allowed to take drafting because she was the only female, but she was sent to Radioman School as the only female in a class of 60 in a school of 300 men.
After four years in the Navy (enlisting for three but having to extend to go to a school she didn't want to attend), Julie returned to college to pursue her dreams of becoming an architect. While she continued her studies, she was in a car accident which took a year out of her life. After that, she realized that she would not be able to follow her dream and she tried many jobs.
