I began my career in August 1970, working on the
second-floor factory at the Waterton campus. Titan III was the new kid on the
block. I remember looking at the factory floor, in wide-eyed amazement, at the
rockets in various stages of assembly everywhere you looked. I remember my first
company Christmas potluck, right inside the J-H stockroom. Everyone brought a
dish and a 'bottle' for sharing adult beverages, even the floor supervisors attended.
We all left full and happy. This was well before ethics, diversity and the political
correctness that followed much later. We were all a team no matter what! Yes,
those were the days.
