It was like being a member of a
family
by Ronald L.
I was at Sunnyvale for almost 16 years (just 2 weeks short) from 1979
to 1995. Work meant having projects done according to Lockheed’s high
standards. I worked with colleagues even after normal work hours; I worked whenever
I was needed. Jobs well done caused communism to collapse. There was a reduced
need for the United States Armed Forces to procure more Lockheed top-quality
products; hence, there were massive layoffs, which affected me.
We had the opportunity to participate in activities during off-hours,
including Toastmasters to improve talking in front of groups, the management
association to listen to accomplished individuals, annual picnics and a 5K fun
run. LERA was a way to doing other things, such as taking hang gliding lessons
and going on a cruise where I met my wife. I am proud to be part of the
Lockheed Martin family. Thank you.
