Thanks Andy and Preston for an interesting history lesson. Always good to learn something new.

My father in law, Harold Hicks, was plant manager when your guest worked there and he also was plant manager in Hattiesburg, MS and I am sure they knew each other. Sadly he passed three years ago and was residing on St. Simons Island. He also managed plants in Franklin, VA, I don’t remember the town in Missouri and Lahore, Pakistan.

I have a small bottle of Turpentine, given to me by "Uncle Joe Leggett" in the mid 90's... he worked at Hercules for many years.. people from St. Simons would have known him as the "Shoe Repair Man".. He was a Great Man...

My former employer found that used equipment often wasn't worth the cost to buy. By the time a piece was shipped in and reconditioned it was often almost the same cost as new. In a lot of cases unless the piece was free it wasn't worth it.

Interesting

they will polverize all the concrete to dust, then they have to cook it to burn off all the chemicals that got into it. then they have to dig down real deep into the dirt to remove any chemicals that sank into the soil.

The US turpentine industry is over. It's cheaper to import raw resin from China. South Georgia doesn't process the product anymore.
