Cathy Rosey is the University's First Woman Bus Driver, September 1970 Photographer: Eck Stanger

Year:

Caption:
U-M's Distaff Driver: Mrs. Craig Rosey, the University's first woman bus driver, notes that because of the job she has "built up some very strong arm muscles." She took the part-time bus-driving work because of the low wages paid women in other fields. When Mrs. Rosey isn't piloting the 35-foot, five-geared monster around campus, she is taking classes at the U-M's nursing school.
