McDonnell Aircraft

MAC's OLD TEAM is an "ad-hoc" group of retired employees of McDonnell Douglas St. Louis & Boeing St. Louis. Most of us worked in Missiles andSpace, with some in Aircraft. We are proud of our heritage of being Mr. Mac's Teammates, and remember the days of "This is Old Mac ---calling all the team". We get together for lunch, discuss "the good ole day... s" and simply enjoy the companionship and any opportunity to keep in touch with our friends and fellow teammates. This group and website are not sanctioned by, nor in any way connected to the Boeing Co. We meet for lunch at a different location in the St. Louis area on the 2nd Wednesday of each month except for July, August, and December. We currently have a list of approx. 200 retirees of MDC and Boeing in the St. Louis area who have shown interest. Usually about 80-100 attend the meetings. In addition, we host a retiree golf tournament in the spring and fall each year. This group was started in 1987.

Tom Beckmann and Bud Schultz got the ball rolling by forming this group. During the first year, they started to meet regularly at Schneithorst's Hofamberg Inn in St. Louis County. By the end of the first year, the group had grown a bit as others retired, but it was still a small group. They had about 10 people during the first year of retirement. This group included: Gene Arnold, Bob Chamberlain, John Lovelace, Simos Ioannou, Jack Plamp, Mike Stack, Tom Beckmann, Bill Merritt, and Bud Schultz. In the following 16 years, this group now known as "MAC's Old TEAM" has grown to a list of approx. 200 of McDonnell Douglas St. Louis retirees, and more recently Boeing St. Louis retirees. Included are teammates and retired friends who worked on many Aircraft, Missile, and Space programs during their employment. These are retirees from various job functions which include: Contracts, Engineering, Estimating, Facilities, ...Read More
