My husband, Gus Logan, was
employed with Lockheed Martin for 40 years, from 1962 to 2002. The C-5 era was
exciting. Many locals said it was too big to fly, but Lockheed had no problem
with that challenge! Although Gus was with Lockheed during production of the
C-130, JetStar, C-141, C-5a and C-5b, his loyalty remains with the "best plane ever built, the C-130."
However, any first flights always bring pride and tears.
We met friends his first
year at Lockheed, friends with whom we still maintain close relationships. We
continue to make new friends through the Company Boating and Camping Club. They
include former GE employees, current employees, retirees and contract
employees. We take pride in showing our out-of-town visitors the Lockheed
plant. It was fun going to LMEA last December to purchase our six-year-old
grandson a real flight jacket. It is wonderful to be connected to an
organization that is such an important part of the community, both on local and
national levels.
Thanks Lockheed Martin for
years of livelihood and for the special memories.
