North American Aviation staff early 1960's Columbus Ohio
A mix of engineers, mechanics, technical artists etc. I like variety of dress we see in this group. My father, a patent draftsman, is casually dressed in a plaid shirt 4th from the left in the back row.
My family used to socialize with that of Jim Baker (third from left, front row), who was a skilled calligraphist and who had a daughter-in-law who became an astronaut.
North American Aviation became part of Rockwell International later in the 60's, and lay-offs occurred in 1969. After a tough job search, my father ended up as the chief patent draftsman at General Electric in Schenectady NY. (1970 - 1978)
