In the 1940s, my mom, Lois Ragsdale,
worked at the plant in Marietta, Georgia. I believe she worked on the
production of B-29s. Years later, I began working in 1956 in the editing and
publishing group of an engineering department at that same facility. Our group
produced manuals on various airplanes for the Air Force. Before computers or
even word processors, these manuals were typed on Justowriters.
My 39-year career was interrupted by four pregnancy
leaves and a brief layoff in the 1970s. A part-time opening in human resources offered
an opportunity to avoid a longer layoff. Using the tuition reimbursement
program offered, I was able to complete a four-year degree while working full
time. I retired from product support in 1995, and my early retirement allowed
me to pursue new hobbies and interests, such as making pottery and travel.
