In 1978, I was working at an insurance company when I there
was an announcement on the radio station that Lockheed was hiring 5,000 new staff.
One day at lunch time, I went to Lockheed’s personnel department to pick up an
application. I filled it out and received a call to come in for an interview. I
got the job! I was so excited to work at Lockheed, and I had a wonderful career
as a single mother. I received many awards for perfect attendance. I still have
my 5-, 10- and I5-year pins and necklace and I treasure them all!
I had the pleasure of working under Dave (Fergie)
Ferguson, the test pilot for the F-117 for a number of years. I then transferred
to the communications group. Low and behold, I met Tony LeViere, who served as a
consultant in his later years. I helped him box up information for the Paris
Air Shows. I listened to his stories about being the test pilot for the P-3,
how he met his wife, courted her and later married her. I also had my picture
taken with T. K. Mattingly. It was an honor to work for Lockheed for 16 years
until I had to go out on medical leave.
