My family is from Marin County, California
in the San Francisco Bay Area, where Bechtel Corporation is based.
Bechtel is a giant in the construction industry and my grandfather
Bill Waste played an important part in the company. Soon after
my parents were married they began their travels for Bechtel.
Some Bechtel families probably have to move even more than military
families. Looking back now, it's hard to believe that we did
most all of this before I was 10 years old! Here's a brief account
of what it was like for my family from 1952 to 1964. The members
of my family are: father Jim Waste, mother Marilyn Waste, brothers
Steve Waste and Jamie Waste, and sisters Shawn Waste Hacker and
Tenby Wright (Tenby Waste). My family is all alive and well -
later there will be updates on everyone. Lastly, I'd like to
say how proud I am to have been associated with the Bechtel family
and company - thanks for these memories!
