Gwen's Story
Life
I have had a great life. Lots of fun, travel, adventure, and I am very happy.!
After high school I went to Germany. I had a friend in the Army who suggested I take the civil service test if I wanted to stay a bit longer than the month I had saved money from babysitting and working at the Grinder.
I ended up staying for 3-1/2 years in Wiesbaden, Germany. I lived in a civilian all girls hotel, the Amelia Earhart. The cost was $11 a month with daily maid service...Expand for more
and also covered my telephone! We were able to travel often as we got both German and American holidays. I made lifelong friends and wouldn’t exchange the experience for anything. I returned to Pasadena in 1969 and worked at JPL for a year and a half before taking a job in El Segundo at CSC.
I still work...part time as a travel agent, and my husband and I have travelled extensively around the world.
I was shy in high school, but Germany changed that! Lucky choices🥰
