That part of it, looking back, it is sad, just the way things have evolved, but we Americans do not forget, and though we still have a trickle of what once was, I wish things would have gone the other way, and or some of this would turn around and garner some of the might we did have, it sure would be a moral booster ! We have in another area, Global Foundries and all the semi-conductor related manufacturing in the area that is an up an coming industry locally.
In those 4 years I worked at this place, we had real old accounts, all the local industry, and thinking back, there was quite a bit still going on. I'm not one for living in the past so much, but we did have something to appreciate with all of our industrial might. I think an example of a great turn around is the craft brewing industry, who would have thought back in the late 70's given what was so prevalent, mass produced rice laden beer, what we have today to enjoy after a hard days work, on a sunday or at any other similar event or daily affair, is of renaissance proportions, its thriving, the products are excellent, the variety is incredible, the support is there, it works, and there are jobs all the way to the hops fields, like one local brewer here, who would buys locally grown hops. Head brewer told me if you were able to grow hops, he would likely buy all of it, ( not such an easy crop but...) I like to think about these kinds of things, its at least a decent business model that works. Most who support these products do so in moderation and responsibly, only negative side it is alcohol, so there is that element of those who do not, not a good choice.

His dad was a hard-working farmer and the children worked hard everyday to help ends meet. In the rural area he grew up in, the highlight of the week was Saturday when many people took a break from their work to go to town. It was on one such Saturday in the early 1940's when Sam was 16 years old that he ended up in Dennison, Kansas to watch a demonstration of a new tractor being put on by a local dealer. It was an Allis-Chalmers tractor dealership,
