Much of her nine decades have been spent leading a quiet life of flying and family. She was born in 1921 and grew up in New York City. When the U.S. joined World War II, she signed up for the Navy and served in the Pacific. She married, had children, and was the vice president of a major mutual fund. Then, in 1976, she transitioned from male to female.
=============================
Interesting story, especially in how non-standard her narrative was despite her transition so many years ago.
Let no one say that 55 is too old to transition.
What an awesome person. I would love to see a movie made of her life.

Robinas story would make for a great love story,I would pay to watch it.
Thank you for posting such a beautiful, positive story. I love flying an airplane as a metaphor for living.
