When I first joined Lockheed, I had wanted
to be in radio since I had gone to school for radio and television. However,
the only opening at the company was for a riveter, and I took the job when it
was offered. After a while, I was promoted to installing harnesses on various
aircraft. Then, I worked in mock-up and check-out. When a position in
programming became available, I transferred to that department and remained there
until I retired in 1981. I enjoyed programming. It was tough, but I understood
it because of my studies in radio and television.
I’ll never forget when my co-worker, A. S.
Czarnecki, Department 1917, and I, Department 1947, had the pleasure working on
the CP-140 Aurora program. On that aircraft, all harness came from load center
to the tail. It was a difficult job, but our team was pleased with our job well
done. We saved both time and money!
I want to thank Lockheed for giving me a
great life. I married a wonderful woman and had two children, so all went well
in my life. I met many people at work, and I will never forget them. I want to thank
all my supervisors, they were very nice. When people ask me where I worked, I am
very proud to say I worked at Lockheed Martin. It truly was the best place to
work!
