G.I. BILL OF RIGHTS PIONEER DIES

Cecile Kibre Bosworth, pioneering activist who helped conceive and promote the G.I. Bill of Rights and the designation of an annual Armed Forces Day, died Wednesday at 100.

Throughout World War II, Bosworth worked with California congressmen to create what became known as the G.I. Bill of Rights to help servicemen step comfortably back into civilian life.
