I was originally employed by Bell
Aerospace. In 1995, Textron, who owned Bell Aerospace, elected to terminate
operations at its location in Wheatfield, New York. There were innumerable technologies
developed there, and we were devastated, fearing these programs would lose
their identity. When we learned we were going to be part of the Lockheed Martin
team, we confident that our successful programs would continue. Thank you,
Lockheed Martin!
