Summary of Paige Bowers & David Montague's Overnight Code

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 Raye Means was a college graduate who wanted to pursue a career in engineering, but she was barred from doing so because of her race. She ended up working as a clerk-typist for the Applied Mathematics Lab, which was staffed with engineers who seemed to consider their position a birthright.

#2 Raye Means was born in 1935 in Arkansas. She was the wind beneath her wings, as she described it, because her mother had to fight for everything she got. The Great Depression had already taken its toll on the state, and the Mississippi River Flood of 1927 had left it with little.

#3 The Jordans had a restaurant and a house, which they had completely furnished on credit. Unfortunately, they fell prey to the financial hell that had engulfed everyone around them. They lost everything they had, including the Radio Lounge.

#4 Raye’s childhood was full of fun and games with her family. She grew up in a rented four-room bungalow with a refrigerator and a telephone, both of which were rare for the time. The telephone had a party line, which meant that there were three or four people in the neighborhood who had the same phone number.
