At one time, I told the FBI, 'Why don't you take it?' They said no thanks.

Our goal was not to get anybody hurt and there was not a Band-Aid issued or a lawsuit issued so we accomplished what we wanted to accomplish. Buildings can be rebuilt.

We learned we couldn't move the device because there were mercury switches inside.

It was a big, scary device. I mean you're standing there looking at it hoping the damn thing doesn't go off when you're in there but we had to X-ray it and determine what it was.

It's an effect that's subtle, but powerful at the same time.

Any time you can keep a local swimmer in your pool, I think it's a huge advantage. He's a local boy breaking school records. It's a great thing for him and pride for the community as well.
