My Aunty ( Dads eldest sister ) who moved to the US ( Los Angeles ) after the War, eventually found a job in the mid 60’s as a PA to one of the Managers at Rocketdyne. Rocketdyne was one of the main contractors ( propulsion ) for Apollo. She worked there for about 20 years retiring in 1984.
She used to send me “Apollo stuff “ from time to time during the Apollo era , books , stamps , toy rockets etc…
A wonderful time of my life !
