Hands poised on the keyboard, twenty-one year old Barbara Braggs prepared to operate a card punch machine in January of 1970. She was employed at McKesson & Robbins Drug Company in Lakewood. Ms. Braggs had successfully completed a Tacoma-Pierce County Opportunity & Development, Inc., computer class through its Manpower Resource Center in November of 1969 and was subsequently hired by McKesson & Robbins. Ms. Braggs had only been on the job at McKesson & Robbins Drug Co. for three months but already was one of the company's top keypunch operators, according to McKesson manager Ken Morrison.
