Margaret's Story

Life OK, I am shortening this whole bio. Too much information. So, here goes: I married Alex MacFarlane, Class of 1957. We had four children, two of each). We moved to NJ. I now have 9 grandchildren... Before we married, I worked for IT&T and The Wall Street Journal divison of Dow Jones. We married and I was a stay-at-home mom until it became necessary for me to go to work. Alex died when David and Alison were in grammar school and Peggy and Alex were in high school. I had 4 mouths to feed (5 if you want to count me), so went back to work. I got a job in R&D for AT&T Bell Labs. I worked myself up from from a Technical Clerk to Technical Management. I worked in Cordless/Cellular development. My boss (and friend) is the "Father of Cellular". So everytime you use your cell phone, you can think of me (bad or good). We worked with Phillips and Motorola for aw...Expand for more
hile, and then were sold to Motorola, I received a job offer from Motorla, but stay with Lucent and worked in Lucent Optical Networking Laser Lightwave Technology. INTERESTING? FACT: I don't even have a degree in anything. So, just remember, if want something bad enough you can make it happen! UPDATED February, 2006: I am caregiver to my mom who is 93. Anyway, I am now getting a pension from ATT Bell Laboratories, a.k.a. Lucent Technologies, and have Alex's widow's social security coming in, so money is okay with me. Although, I think I'd like to work parttime if something interesting comes along. My mom, who was living with me, passed away in her sleep in her bed here at home with me. I am thinking of going back to work. We really had it good back then in the '50's, even if we may not have realized it. Well, at least, I didn't. Take care. Here's to NDHS!!!
