When the wind blew in the wrong (by my account) direction we were treated to that odor. From another direction we could detect the faint aroma of turpentine from the Hercules plant.

They figured out some way to handle it.<br /><br />One of the best field trips I ever went on (well, an 'educational' field trip) was one to S.D. Warren to learn how paper was made. It was fascinating. HOWEVER, I had to hang my clothes up on the line for several days just to get the stench out. I could not imagine working there.<br /><br />Westbrook has come a long way since then.Elenkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11377371859667172825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-806671613875975371.post-50785101397216607002012-07-01T04:22:56.851-04:002012-07-01T04:22:56.851-04:00Ah, lots of history related to this one!
