Re: Oh my! What a surprise!
I had a friend that had a drafting job with a small company in College Park, MD called MCI in 1974. From what I understood then they were constructing microwave towers for companies to be able to communicate with one another hence Microwave Communications Inc. Never really gave this much thought until the 80's when out of nowhere we started hearing about MCI and long distance. At that time my friend recalled in some dim part of his mind that he had been given some stock when he left there. Needless to say it had turned into a nice little chunk of change, nothing life altering but certainly a real nice surprise. It is interesting to see what has become of these various companies over the years. |
