Northrop whatever we made it whatever we decided In the beginnings, we were afraid of Northrop. It seemed as if it would engulf us with its hugeness and it would make us something besides ourself. Before too long we found out the truth. Northrop was just us. It was no artificial monster, but just the sum of all the individual parts. And we were the individual parts. Changing was there, but it was the changing that we do. It was the changing that was another word for growing. New chances to do and learn things made us different but different in a way we choose. And in the totality there was room for. everyone. The more varied the parts, the more flexible and more useful Northrop was. We became the thousand rocks that make up the mountain, we bacame the thousand streams that make up the river, we became the thousand cells that make up the body. And like in a body, or perhaps a family, we found that each of us contributed strengths that helped to be self sustaining. And we also found that our weaknesses were covered by other strengths in the body. Each of us had a role to play and a addition that would make the future more optimistic for everyone.
