Winchesters didn't force that change--women did.Jacquie Rogershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17361793932364487636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152821032321828999.post-4832767770633845592013-08-11T21:20:41.520-07:002013-08-11T21:20:41.520-07:00Terrific post as always, Jacquie. sorry I'm so...Terrific post as always, Jacquie. sorry I'm so late getting here.
