I’m Celebrating over 60 Years

It all began in 1951, the year Lockheed-Georgia opened its doors

by Sam M.

I hired in at Lockheed, then known as Lockheed-Georgia Company in Marietta, Georgia, in 1951 at a pay of $1.10 per hour. That same year, Lockheed-Georgia opened its doors.

I worked in assembly inspection, contracts and finally in marketing. I marketed C-130s and C-141s to the United States government. I was appointed marketing representative on a Lockheed Jetstar tour of Europe, Africa and parts of Asia. I married a fellow worker, Joan, and later took an early retirement in 1990. I left many loving friends at Lockheed Martin.
