I started at Martin Marietta in 1961. I had moved with
my wife and two young children to Orlando, Florida, from New York City. While
living in New York, I worked for IBM in the printing department, and my wife
wanted to leave the City and move closer to her parents who had retired in
Orlando. When I first arrived, I found out that Orlando was a small town and
employment was difficult to find. Fortunately, I learned about a company
located 20 miles in the middle of nowhere that was hiring printers for its
print shop. I will always feel lucky to have found this job with such a
wonderful company as Martin Marietta.
I am now 89 years old and I think back to my time at
Martin Marietta with fondness. I made wonderful friends and had a very
fulfilling career that allowed me to save enough to buy my own home and send
both my children to college.
