Russ From MN. So that paper mill you retired from was that LPI in Becker MN, or Hoerner Waldorf in ST Paul,just curious ?

Verso in Sartell MN. It's gone now, had a explosion and fire 2 years after I left 11 years ago, 1 person died. Was not feasible to repair as the market was disappearing, we made mostly high end magazine paper. Too bad, 500 good jobs gone, plus the loggers that supplied wood, and other related suppliers. The newest machine was installed in 1982, made a sheet of paper 25 feet wide, put coating on both sides all at 4,300 feet per minute.

That was a big loss. Economy spirals down I’m not up in that area, but it still was a loss.
