Susan Massarella

I started working in the Port of New York Authority's Management Personnel Division on October 30, 1970. My uncle, William Munster, was a PA Police Captain and my cousin Jane Froggatt also worked in Personnel.

One of my favorite experiences was returning to the Operating Personnel Division in December 1975, landing headfirst into the Police Officer Recruitment. There were over 7,000 applicants; NYC had laid off civil servant workers and hundreds of applicants were from the NYPD and FDNY. It was a crazy time.

I joined the Engineering Department Design Division in 1983 and stayed there until my retirement in December 2002. As a Contract Administrator, I met so many people, inside and outside the PA. I have so many wonderful memories and have made life-long friends. I am very proud to be a member of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey Family. Happy 100th!
