Since about 8th grade, the one company I've consistently wanted to work for has been Boeing. More specifically, the Commercial Aircraft division in Seattle. This week I finally got the offer to work there as an aerodynamics engineering intern for the summer. So... woohoo!
Now, to make it coin related, post a coin you courted for years... and finally got.
It took me 10 years of looking to find the right Fugio:

Thought you might appreciate something like this though.
I have been looking for this coin for 2-3 years. I found it last Sunday and bought it the next day. Got it Thursday and love it. Great idea for a thread.
Here's a coin I would have to work my whole life for and still likely not be able to afford it:
and would continue to do that today if I wasn't retiring in a year or two! Congrats on the job and
I hope the experience leads to the job of a lifetime, if that is what you pursue!

You wouldn't believe how long it took to get him to sit still for this.

Found this coin after 12 years of looking.

My mother passed away approximately two weeks ago. She was 89 years old.
My brother is employed by Boeing, Ridley Park, PA. He took care of my mother as she was dying from old age.
To make a long story short, Boeing was extremely flexible in allowing my brother to take time off from work, so that he could tend to our mothers needs.
The day she passed away the Vice President of the company called to express his sympathy to my brother, and, the family.
My borther has never met the Vice President; however, we all felt that it was very nice of this person to call the house to express his sympathy for our loss.
At the end of my mothers funeral mass we made sure to thank the Boeing Corporation for being so kind, and, considerate, to my brother, while he took time off, from the company, to tend to our mother.
Nice story - thanks for sharing it.

Be sure to stop by Stagg's located in Kent, WA. Andy Stagg is a wonderful man to work with and is Extremely fair. His son Mark is very nice as well. I use to work there part-time a few years back. He is one of the few shops open on Sundays from 10-4.
Seattle is a wonderful city to live in. Be sure to take advantage of all that the NW has to offer especially the seafood. Try to go salmon fishing and be sure to have Dungeness crab. You'll have to stop by Dick's and get a Deluxe, large fry and chocolate shake. The Mariners will be playing and Safeco Field is a beautiful stadium.
Seattle is a very open community where you will find a true melting pot.
Enjoy your time and I hope you don't grow moss on your back nor get webbed feet. Gosh I miss Seattle........
