My mother retired from Philco-Ford with
about 25 years of tenure, and I started there in 1971 in Palo Alto, California.
Eventually, Philco-Ford became Aeronutronic Ford and Ford Aerospace, and was later
purchased by Loral Corporation. About two years later, Lockheed Martin bought
the San Jose Western Development Laboratories (WDL) division. I eventually met
my wife, who also retired from Lockheed with about 32 years of service. I'm proud
of the 40-year career I had with Lockheed Martin. The funny thing about my
mother and wife working there is that they both share the same February 13
birthday!
Congratulations Lockheed Martin! |
