COMMENTS:

Relocated to Florida in April of 1966 from Bethpage, New York.  Original position was as Lead Technician of the ACE Carry-on Group.  Was shortly thereafter promoted to Assistant Foreman and then Foreman of the Electronic Technicians assigned to the Labs of the MSO.  After completion of the activation of the labs and receipt of the first Lunar Module at KSC I was assigned as Vehicle Team Foreman.  After the successful launches of LM-1 and LM-3 I was assigned as Mfg. Vehicle Manager of LM-5; the Lunar Module of Apollo-11.  The first moon landing mission.  After the successful landing and slow-down of the overall program, I was re-assigned as a Mfg. Shift Supervisor in charge of all Mfg. Personnel (both Ground Support, and Vehicle Technicians and Mfg. Support Personnel) until the end of my KSC Tour.
