MISC
In addition to my career at Dow Reichhold Specialty Latex, the Chemical Plant
announced its closure in June of 2008. This was due to business conditions associ-
ated with the 2008 Recession, as well as other issue's. At that time, Volunteers were
sought to remain at the facility for demolition services. Several employees volun-
teered, but only a few stayed. I am one of the volunteers that remained and helped
bring the business to an orderly close. In March of 2009, I was hired by
CH2MHILL to liquidate the assets, and demolition the site I had worked at for 17
years. With the help of my good friend Leon Lewis, We managed to complete the
demolition with no injuries, no fines, and a very satisfied client.
