After college, Bill moved through many engineering jobs in the midwest and east
coast until he was recruited from GE by his old friend John
Brownie (who later founded Stanford Telecommunications). He joined Philco Ford in 1967, later Ford Aerospace
(now Loral ), and moved his entire family across the country in a long
car tour of all the major sights, from a tour of the battles of the Civil War (in which
he had a great personal interest) to Mount Rushmore, from Yellowstone to Disneyland, finally
reaching San Jose, California. His many friends included Richard A. (Dick) Williams, head of research
for Philco Ford, and Ernie Balderrama, his colleague (both now retired), along with
many other friends, and his nickname was "Jolly Jolitz".

One of his hobbies was 8mm film making. Some of these "8mm films of WL Jolitz" are on the web. |
