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.
