As a retiree of Lockheed Martin, I am more
than happy to share something about perseverance and inspiration. You see, I
was with the company for 25 years as the nurse, and I saw it all. Some stories
I can tell, and some I cannot. When I worked for the company, there were
between 1,720 and 2,200 employees, and there one nurse to do it all. I saw 40
to 60 employees most days. Many wanted to be sent to the doctor, but as my boss
said, I had to talk them out of it. One day with another nurse who was called
then, we gave around 400 flu shots. One man even brought in his frog.
The company was good to me. If I weren’t 90
years old, I go back in one minute! Thank you for giving me the privilege to
share a small part of my story. I want to tell you I appreciate every dime of my
retirement. Thank you!
