Women at Work

â€‹Stacey Corcoran is 53 years .../, 124 N. 9th St., Rochelle, IL

â€‹Stacey Corcoran is 53 years old, is an Electrician that works in Electrical Productions. She has been at the factory since its opening, 2 ½ years ago. She has been building trains for 24 years and has the most history on this industry as anyone there. She has no children. Donna Comp-Penwarden is 52 years old, and is a Quality Interior Inspector. She has been there 1 ½ years. She originally was hired out of a temp agency as a “scribe”. She basically followed management around and wrote down whatever they said. Now she works in the Quality Pit. She has 3 kids. They are authentic, genuine women that work manufacturing trains. They are both hard working women, not “fancy” or pretentious in any way. They are polar opposites size wise. Donna is a very tall woman that towers over me. Stacey however is a little spitfire that comes up to maybe my rib cage and I am 5 feet 6 inches tall. They tell everyone they are twins, like the movie with Danny Devito.
