You're right, they still monitor the pollution at the burial pits here in MI, trying to keep it contained. And I think there is 3 or 4 different spots that Velsicol owned that are all grossly polluted. At least there is fences around them keeping people out, but with it's one location directly on the Pine River, it has really ruined the area. The fishing on the Pine River is phenomenal, only because you can't eat the fish so nobody keeps them. A relative of a friend used to work for Velsicol. He said one of his jobs was to dump drums of chemicals in the river to get rid of them. He said he hated to do it, but really needed the job. Just last year there was some funding that paid to remove all of the trees in one part of city, remove all of the dirt from resident's yards, down to about 6' deep I think, and haul it away and replace with clean topsoil. That's how polluted residential areas are, just saturated with PBB in the trees, water, soil, and residents. It's a bad deal, and just think that all of the stuff that is built in China, they do the same kinds of things every day.

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.
