I’ll Find a Way or Make One – A Rosie Story

Buffalo's own "Rosie the Riveter", Viola Hippert, reflects on her life at Bell Aircraft.

Viola Hippert grew up a child of Serbian immigrants in the shadow of the Bethlehem Steel plant in Lackawanna, New York. Her family’s strong work ethic laid the groundwork for “Vi” to become a Rosie the Riveter at Bell Aircraft Corporation during WWII. Now in her late 90s, Vi reflects on her life and has no plan to slow down.

I’ll Find a Way or Make One – A Rosie Story is a local public television program presented by WNED PBS.
