Grew up within 5 miles of the main north mill that was in Riverview/Trenton, Michigan. Memories of the night sky always orange. A gal whose hsband was in my monms nursing home drove the trains that moved the hot metal pig iron ingots to the forming and rolling mills. |

My dad was one of the designers of the electrical system for McClouth in Trenton as an employee of General Electric. We spent a summer there (1961) at Stony Point, and had a tour of the Enrico Fermi nuclear plant.

In reference to Mike's (Vacerator) comments from material he recalls in the book, "We almost Lost Detroit."
This book was a work by the author John Fuller who also wrote about extraterrestrials and ghosts. Not only did we not lose Detroit, we did not lose the power plant, we didn't lose the reactor, and we didn't even lose the reactor vessel. The author is famous for putting fiction into real life events for sensationalism. (It sells books.) The title alone tells you its based on sensationalism. One of his comments he made was, "the engineers and reactor operators were walking on tip-toes in the control room, afraid they might jar the the fuel into critical mass." The control room was in a separate building, ha. Not even close to the containment building. Yes, there was an event at the Enrico Fermi breeder Reactor. The reactor was built in the very early sixties and went online in 1963. In 1966, a diverter flow plate loosened and moved, blocking the flow of liquid sodium to several of the fuel rods. This resulted in the overheating of the rods and partial melting. The automatic monitoring systems notified the operators that the reactor was having trouble keeping two of the fuel bundles cool. The operators shut down the reactor. The containment building floor was not even remotely "minutes away from melting through." Fuel would have had to have melted completely through the reactor vessel to have reached the containment floor. No fuel ever exited the reactor vessel. The reactor vessel was not even damaged. The two, out of 92 fuel bundles, that were damaged were removed. Fresh fuel was reinstated, and the Enrico Fermi reactor continued to run, producing electricity for six more years, until late 1972 when it was shut down and the fuel core was removed. It was an economic decision. It was an older reactor and they would either put the money into it for a more modern and efficient core or not invest the expense in it. Detroit Edison decided the latter instead of the former. This post was last edited 08/17/2021 at 11:11 |

Thomasville started using wood veneer's over M.D.F. board sides. I know by 1986 they were on some lines. Maybe not the collectors cherry though. The fronts and tops were still all solid. |

The colors and illustrations in the Cannon Towels ad from 1927 look like something from the 1960s, 40 years ahead of its time. |

We had those American Standard toilets in our house growing up built in about 1960. The "cannon" of the flushing mechanism worked nicely (never getting hung up) but the gasket at the bottom hooked over a flange which proved kind of delicate and we ruined one (and of course the "cannon" wasn't available any longer).

We never had a pull-down light, but they were all the rage in the 50's. Neighbors around the corner built their house in '53 or '54, and put one above their kitchen table. They were the ones with a Kelvinator range and refrigerator. |

My parents enclosed a screened porch that became our "den" which also had the casual eating table. We had a pulldown light fixture. My aunt & uncle built a new house in 1958/1959 and had a pulldown light fixture in their breakfast room and remained there the entire time they owned the house, which was until the late 1990s or so.
