Phil,
Ya, that's the place. I started working there as a temp. in '91 after my
well heald wife divorced me and I dismantled the origonal hobagama.
Sometimes we have to get a real job once in a while. They do aluminium
extrusions and annodising. Until a few years ago they used temp. agents.
I alone must have trained 2500 in 7 years. Only about 2 or 3 are still
there. Kind of like teaching pottery in the university I suppose.

Hi Gary,


Was it "Bowers"?


I have a smouldering-wick type Trench Lighter of their make,
"Army & Navy LIghter" it says, and I used to have a Blued
Steel, fluid-wick type as was also made in Kalamazoo, but I
forget the maker now of that one...
