Panama Canal Expansion And The Woman In Charge
/I've been fascinated by the Panama Canal since I read David McCullough's book "Path Between the Seas" about the building of the great canal connecting the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean, and eliminating the time and danger of circumnavigating the tip of South America. So it's no surprise that when I was watching a news program called Tech Know, I caught a story on the current efforts of expanding the Canal. I was surprised to learn that the person in charge of this herculean effort is a top engineer by the name of Llya Marotta. And I love the fact that this woman purposely wears a pink hardhat and matching safety vest out on the job site. She must be one sharp lady as Latin America can be a tough place for a female boss.
