In this interview I got to visit with Norma Myers. Newly 100 (born Christmas Day), Norma recounts being born at her grandparents’ homestead in Buffalo Gap and growing up on a North Dakota ranch with four siblings. She shares a dramatic account of the deadly 1941 November blizzard in which her and her sister Ramona walked home after their car stalled and suffered severe frostbite. She recalls being treated by Dr. Sadowski, and believing she had “super strength” to carry and shield her sister to safety—an experience that affected her hearing and remained a defining memory. Norma also talks about her parents’ skills and ranch management, her love of cards and sports, winning many awards including being an outstanding two-court basketball guard and setting a county pull-up record of 41. She then describes being recruited after high school to work for the FBI in Washington, DC during World War II as a fingerprint classifier under intense quotas and supervision. Join us for Part 1 as Norma's early years unfold - stories that set the stage for the extraordinary life she would go on to live.
