No, it's quite true. She happens to be the only person in the world to 
have driven both Lion, the oldest working locomotive, and Crofton's 1812 
Boulton and Watt beam engine, the oldest working steam engine. (Yes, I 
know Birmingham Museum claims theirs is, but it doesn't work, just goes up 
and down, while Crofton actually does its original job). She's also a 
C,Eng, MIET...........Our wedding reception was at Crofton Beam engines, 
and the honeymoon involved the Severn Valley, the Tal-y-llyn and the 
Festiniog.

As for training other wives, I doubt it, Alan.  Her job is training people 
to use software to design integrated circuits, and then she spends hours 
training Girl Guide leaders  and training the trainers of Guide 
leaders....
