I began my employment in 1954 at the Glenn
L. Martin Company in Middle River, Maryland. The company decided to expand our
division to Denver, Colorado, to build the Titan vehicle. I was one of five
chosen to go to Denver to select and purchase land for the new facility. We
operated for months out of hotels and downtown office buildings while the
facility was being built. The number of employees was growing. The site we selected
was perfect, as it was in a canyon that muted the noise when the engines for
the launch vehicles were fired. After taking early retirement from Martin
Marietta, I join Toyota Motor Sales, USA, and retired as a group vice president
and corporate officer for United States operations.
