Sue Goes To School
Sue went to school at
Western High
School and the California State University
at Long Beach (CSULB) and graduated with honors in Mathematics.
Sue's goal was to teach High School which she achieved but soon joined the
large Aerospace company!
The Aerospace world was expanding like
mad since we were still in the midst of the Cold War. Anyone with scientific
skills was drafted!
1969 (Sue Graduates High School)
- Man walks on the Moon
- US Units withdrawn from Vietnam
- 50 pence coin introduced
- Test-tube fertilization of human eggs
- Pele scores 1000th goal
- Boeing 747 and Concorde first flight
- Monty Python's Flying Circus first broadcast

Sue's degree in mathematics worked out well as she used that training to
become a software engineering manager, Program Manager for the Global Positioning
System (GPS) Ground Segment, and finally, before retiring, deputy Program
Manager for a major program within Boeing..
Paul Goes To School
Paul went to
Alexander Hamilton High School,
Los Angeles City College, and the
University of Southern California (USC
Alumni) and received a Bachelor's degree in History with a goal of teaching
High School!
Paul's growing up included Ham Radio which was the basis of Paul's techical
training and that was applied to testing elements of the Apollo spaceraft
beginning 1965 with North American Aviation.
Many of the
High School
classmates are now on-line!
Hamilton was a good school and it has a LARGE graduating class! The sixties
were OK years but nothing will ever match the 1950's!

- Tom Cruise is born
- Cans that can be opened with tabs are invented by the City Beer Company
- Decca records turns down signing the Beatles

Post Gradulation
After several years in industry, Paul then went Northrop University for a Master of Science in Management Technology and returned to USC for a Masters in Phychology.
Guess that's why we are in Aerospace?? Go figure!
It is a sad thing to see what is happening in schools
today! The problem is the lack of parenting!!!
