I worked at the Lockheed Burbank plant
in1943 when I was 16 years old. I participated in a plan whereby you worked for
four weeks and then went to school for four weeks. I worked on the P-38
assembly line until April of 1944, when I joined the Navy. When I was
discharged in 1946, I worked a variety of jobs mostly in the aerospace
industry. I retired from a division of Xerox called Electro-Optical Systems, which
was later sold to Loral and then eventually to Lockheed Martin. Lockheed was
the first job I ever had, and I ended up receiving a small pension from
Lockheed Martin due to company sales and mergers.
