During the World
War II, my mother and her sister, Connie, worked at the Burbank plant. The
woman in the back row of the photo below is my mother, Winifred, at what she
called the silk screen or poster shop at the Lockheed Burbank plant during World
War II. Mom met my father, Raymond, a young engineer, there. Both my
grandfathers (one was an FAA official) and my Uncle Steve (a young engineer) worked
at the Burbank plant. In 1958, my father and Grandfather Lee and their families
moved to Sunnyvale to work at the Sunnyvale plant.
My entire
family had life-long careers at Lockheed Martin, except my mother and aunt who
returned to the home after the war. I am now in my 28th year at Lockheed Martin
at the Advanced Technology Center in Palo Alto. My sister never worked at
Lockheed Martin, but she was the "Lockheed Rodeo Princess" in the late 1960s.
I'm proud to carry on Mom's legacy (she's standing in the back row)! |
