Nancy Robinson Masters has been wearing jeans all of her life. Nancy grew up on a cotton farm in West Texas where she learned to drive a tractor before she learned to drive a car.

Everywhere I‘ve been, including Antarctica as a guest of the National Science foundation, I‘ve met people wearing jeans!”
