Interesting. My husband & I both worked at Generous Dynamics and on the A-12 program. We weren’t married at the time and didn’t start dating until after Cheney canceled the program and we were sent to different programs & office locations in Ft. Worth.
Such a waste of taxpayers dollars, wasted shareholder earnings, and such. But that said, they said the Navy was one of the toughest contractors around trying to satisfy them and GD had much experience with Air Force so guess maybe it was true.

Hey, you got married, didn’t you? If you are happy and we got that out of our tax dollars, I’m good.
Hey Quacker —my hubby worked at MDC and I worked at the GD headquarters —both in St. Louis. I know that was a booger of a contract —it was a firm fixed price development contract and the Navy kept changing the specs —soon they had to spend scads more money on engineering change proposals. I dearly love Dick Cheney, but because that program was canceled, coupled with MDC’s loss of the advanced tactical fighter competition (now the F22) there was a massive layoff at MDC (now Boeing) that St. Louis has never recovered from.
We’ve gone on to bigger and better things —but that was a harrowing time for both of us. GD was moving their headquarters to Wash DC so my job was on the block and hubby found out about his layoff during the Christmas break —sure sucked for awhile!
