My father
worked on the P-38 Lighting as a mechanic during World War II. He loved that
fighter! We visited aircraft museums, where he told me all about the P-38.
I worked for
Lockheed from 1965 through 1985 at Johnson Space Center, on the Gemini, Apollo
and Space Shuttle programs as a developer and engineer. I developed simulations
to train astronauts and to checkout the flight hardware and software. I greatly
enjoyed working for Lockheed.
