Barbara Ellen Grillo née Orlob was a single mother to her only son Christian during a period in which women faced more significant discrimination than today. Women then couldn't even secure credit cards without a husband's authority, yet she was able to found Collins & Associates, a successful human resources company for scientific, engineering and technical positions for aerospace.
