Her name is Rosemary Duffy and her son actually reproduced the sign for her. Interesting story. This was back in 2017. https://www.pennlive.com/news/2017/03/pa_woman_is_a_living_parallel.html Quote Fast forward four decades, and Duffy recently rejoined the Thomas Merton Center and local protests against President Trump and Republican Senator Pat Toomey in Pittsburgh. Duffy said that after her son saw her at one of the events, it occurred to him to recreate the Pittsburgh Press' Nixon protest photo, which the family had kept in a scrapbook. (PennLive asked for and was shown a copy of the original photo as published in August of 1974.) "I actually reproduced the sign using a projector and tracing the original onto the new sign," Twyman told PennLive. The resulting before-and-after photo was posted by Twyman online two weeks ago and has been widely shared since. In addition to duplicating the earlier sign, Twyman said the recreation process involved convincing his mother to mimic the stony expression she had in the first photo. "She's not in any way a sour woman, she was just in a bad mood that day for some reason. When we redid the photo, I said, 'You gotta look pissed, mom," Twyman recalled. He said she agreed, adding, "she was all for it." How does she feel about going viral? Quote As for the reaction the photos of his mother have received online, Twyman put it this way: "We try to tell her about all the shares and going viral and she says, 'Well, I don't know about all that. I just know he [Trump] should be in jail.'" In speaking with PennLive Friday, Duffy was similarly nonchalant. "I'm not a social media person. I just get a kick out of the grandkids' reaction. I have 10 grandkids and they're having fun with it." Legend
