Default "Rocket Girl" BBC On Mary Sherman Morgan (1921-2004)

There's a book out there called "Rocket Girl" a biography of rocket fuel
expert Mary Sherman Morgan of North American Aviation written by one of
her sons. An article and video was posted on the BBC today about both
her and the book here at:

Wonder if John D. Clark (1907-1988) knew her?

PS: Another North Dakotan. Too bad born way before Pat's time! They'd
probably gotten along quite well! :-D

"They" being John & Mary or Pat & Mary?

John & Mary
Going back through the book "Ignition!" I find references to Hydyne (aka
Bagel!) but no mention of Mary Sherman-Morgan. Too bad...

Ah the halcyon days of the 40's & 50's, where rocket science was a bit
of trial-and-error, guts and glory... Besides just dry theory and
computer simulation. But then I'm probably just a hopeless & delusional
romantic. :-)

Pat & Mary
Well, she was literally old enough to be his mother! Ohhh. Hey that'd
explain a lot.... ;-)
