Thanks for the very detailed article about her.<br /><br />I remember many of the old news reporters I knew way back when were 2 finger typists that could type rather fast. I doubt any of them won any kind of contest though.Bill Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14649212489891769390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5248447883714712696.post-10557036058546123802013-07-21T00:38:57.375+10:002013-07-21T00:38:57.375+10:00A very interesting post, as usual.

A Google search with the words "Mary E Orr Remington" found a Google Books reference to Volume 10 of "Success Magazine", which contains an article or column, "Little Life Stories: Mary E Orr, The First Woman to Become Director in a Big Corporation". Among other information, the piece includes a fine photograph of Orr together with an interview with her. I'll try pasting the huge link: http://books.google.com/books?id=MFgwAQAAMAAJ&pg=PA831&lpg=PA831&dq=mary+e+orr+remington&source=bl&ots=1oOx6e54ib&sig=vRYjcLkzcxBKk2LYsBoHoTqpREU&hl=en&sa=X&ei=rJ3qUf60GsHwigK_t4CIDQ&ved=0CDsQ6AEwAg#v=onepage&q=mary%20e%20orr%20remington&f=falseTonysVisionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16035849049327300498noreply@blogger.com
