Grumman and the Lunar Module
by, Wendy Elkis Girnis, HHS Class of 1977
If you asked your friends where their fathers worked back in the 1960s, '70s, and '80s, chances are that they would say one of the aerospace companies on Long Island. Companies like Astrosystems, Hazeltine, Gould, Lambda, Harris, Eaton, Fairchild/Republic, and others employed over 100,000 people. Grumman had the largest workforce of all of them.
