Agnes signed my WW2 Molly doll from American Girl, she also had a Molly doll of her own. She told me she went to president Biden’s home and had dinner with him. She liked him a lot. I learned a lot from her about WW2 and the Rosie the Riveters and I’m so sorry she passed away, I was privileged to meet her when I was 9, right before covid. What a great woman!

I have my Molly WW2 American Girl doll signed by Agnes! Agnes told me she had a Molly doll, too! She got to have dinner with our President Biden and go to his home. She was so nice to me and it was so neat to hear about her Rosie life.
