paul1.jpg (3963 bytes) Hi, I'm Paul Whitacre!


I was born in Los Angeles, California and spent most of my
childhood in Tujunga, California during the Great Depression
of 1929. I graduated from San Fernando High School in 1937.
I dabbled with many jobs, including a tour in the Navy, before
settling in at General Dynamics in Pomona, California in 1959.

I have two children:   Greg and Cathy by my first wife, Betty, who died of Leukemia.
In 1975, I married Sandy (Tallman) Powers who had two children:  Suzanne and Jeff.
Together we have seven terrific grandchildren:  Matt, Sara, Adam, Jordan, Amanda,
Megan, and Brandon!

In 1980, I retired from General Dynamics (G.D.) and we moved to Bullhead City,
Arizona.  During my 21-year tenure at G.D., I acquired many acquaintances, both
managers and workers.  You are all wonderful people!  When asked upon my
retirement if I would miss the job, I replied, "No, but I'll miss the people".

The list below just scratches the surface of my dealings while working at G.D.
If you remember me, please email me at
paulw@ctaz.com and say hello.

I look forward to hearing from you soon!

Paul V. Whitacre, retired and living on the Colorado River!
