I was employed in product assurance at
Lockheed Propulsion Company (LPC) from 1956 to 1975. LPC worked with my
schedule so that I could attend school part time. Because of this encouragement, I
was able to earn a master’s degree with an emphasis in mathematics. After the
plant closed in 1975, I taught mathematics at San Bernardino Community College
for 30 years before retirement.
I feel a real sense of gratitude for the inspiration
of those I worked with over the years. Most of our work was research and
development. The people I worked with were top-quality. The experience was a
real asset in teaching. It enabled me to present the material in ways that
showed practical useful concepts that might have otherwise seemed abstract.
