As long as I can remember, my dad worked for Boeing. At the time, Boeing was considered one of the preeminent aerospace companies in the world. Dad’s engineering career went all the way back to working on the landing gear for the B52, Through and beyond the 747. In all that time, I can remember him having to go on strike twice. Both of those times were tough on the family but, he made it through, and our family was better off for him doing it.
