I first came to California in 1966 as a nine year old child. My father was finishing his time in the Air Force at Vandenberg AFB before taking a job in the aerospace industry in Southern California.
Southern California was aerospace central in those days. We were going to the moon, discovering how to walk in space, and developing new passenger aircraft, to boot. In the wake of all this, many new products were developed. It was a boom time, a time of good jobs. I remember it fondly.
