I worked for Martin Marietta, then
Lockheed Martin, from 1959 to 1998. I started as a tool crib attendant, then worked
in various production planning jobs. I was exposed to all manufacturing and
factory environments, including machining of spacecraft parts in our machine
shop. We were part of the process through subassembly and final assembly of the
Titan missile and other spacecraft products. The satisfaction of actually touching
the parts that make up a space product, then seeing them in outer space was
amazing. Realizing that I played a part in the success of that program and Lockheed
Martin makes me proud to have been an employee!
