736 Remington Drive 1962-1969... Lockheed was the big employer.
Doctors were the top of the income pyramid.. Cherry orchards

Yes. It was pure luck. My first "real" job, and I was destined for a
field job in Gary, Indiana. Two weeks after that, Sperry bought our
company and laid off 5 out of 6 of the employees. I figure they kept me
because I was cheap (fresh out of college). Of the remaining 1 out of 6,
half quit and walked out. So I was now one of about 50 remaining
employees of what had been over 600 when I'd started.
I got called in and informed that the job in Gary was still there, but
there were now openings all over the country; one of which was
Sunnyvale, California. Well I'd been to the Bay area when I was in the
service, and I'd been to Gary too. I liked the Bay area _*_WAY_*_ better
than Gary, so I said I'll go there. That was 48 years ago, and it was
like the proverbial "coming out smelling like a rose" kind of thing.

Around here you can't swing a cat without hitting a Tesla. Just
driving down the hill (about 6 miles) I usually pass a half dozen of
them going the opposite direction.
