Photo Flashback Thursday

Once a week I like to take a little bit of time out, time to look at some of the 30,000+ photos that I have stored on my computer. Little lost moments in time that I either captured with a lens, scanned or just stole from someplace on the internet. I like to find just one and post it up and recall or relive the picture to the best of my ability. Sometimes this is a pretty easy task and sometimes it's not that easy, one thing it has always been a lot of fun.

I'm posting this one from my days as a Metal Pourer at Helmick. Feeling a little nostalgic this week, I did a little bit of research on Helmick and found out that our President died a few years ago after retiring. They had completely retooled and changed their product line to roofing materials. They had been open since before West Virginia was even a state and I found out this past week that they have finally closed up shop permanently and are no longer in business. 

It was a somber moment for me as it was like closing a chapter of a book on my life, despite me leaving there 27 years ago. Where the plant was there is another company there now called Reclaimm who ironically were the same company that knocked down the big garage and removed it from here a few weeks ago. 

Have yourselves a great day.
