HH: And then what kind of work were you doing at that time?

HU: Well, I had looked around and found a job, but then I couldn't find a job as an engineer, so I found a job as an electrical draftsman at Westinghouse Electric Corporation in Lester, Pennsylvania, but my application, I had to fill out a big form to get clearance from the Provost Marshal's office in Baltimore. So the first six months, I was working at the Cuneo Press. I was a paper machine loader. What happens is you get these big pieces of paper that have been printed, and you put it on a machine that cuts it and folds it. Eventually, you get on the bigger machine that will put all the pages together and then cut the fourth, I mean, the three sides to make a magazine. They used to do Time and Life and Good Housekeeping, all kinds of magazines that were printed and published there, so that's what we did.

HH: Since we're on this topic, what kind of job did you have until retired recently?

HU: Well, as soon as my clearance came through, I went to Westinghouse and I worked there for, as a draftsman for some time, and then later on became a drafting supervisor, and then in 1976, I decided to apply for an opening as an electrical engineer in the control group. And I stayed in there until I retired in 1982, and by that time, the division had broken up and someone in manufacturing had gone to Charlotte, North Carolina, and then eventually the engineering department moved on to Orlando, Florida. And I decided, well, I don't think I'll go down to Orlando, because my wife had a job in the school system, and to move down to Orlando and find a comparable job would be pretty difficult. So I stayed on, I think I was sixty-seven by the time I actually retired from Westinghouse. So I was there thirty-nine years at Westinghouse.

HH: Let's see, thirty-nine years.
