Show WILLIAM EVERETT HALDANE #1 build the mills and so on this was the first thing that happened to me. I had no idea this was coming. This was about the fifteenth of May and our oldest boy had been born the twelfth of May and I had taken Marge up to Delta so she could be at her home, you know, so we could be near the hospital. About the fifteenth of May I got a call from the Grand Junction office saying they wanted to see me and Bill Shoulder, the research chemist, to come to Grand Junction. That's all that was said. Well, I was smart enough to put on my suit. I put my toothbrush and my shaving kit in my pocket and came to Grand Junction thinking I'd be back the next day. I never say Uravan for about four weeks after that. I came to town and he said I was supervising engineer and taking over as the head and I picked up the blueprints and got the funding of status, how these plants were, where they were, and their status of construction. One of the first things I noticed was this filter, and I grabbed it, went into Burwell' s office and said, "Blair, gosh, this isn't the filter now that's supposed to be in these plants." "Why, the heck it isn't!" This is the way it was, and this is the way it was going to be. Well, I had to dig around and find out what had happened because I knew they discarded those filters 30 |
