I graduated from State in 1970, and my first job was with 'The Woodworks' making crate-type furniture, much like 'This End Up'. Ted Boatwright, Dick Thomson and Burt Elliot had rented the Lassiter Mill site from Richard Lassiter. In 1971, The mill was a sad sight. The surrounding area had been developed, but the mill area was dormant and abandoned.  However, some of the woodworking equipment was still functional and we used it regularly for a couple of years. While we were there we met some interesting old-timers.
