I remember when we went through the changeover when Dan Halen bought out Johns Mannsville. Cost cutting cheapskates just bought a great American company to gut it. Next thing you knew us asbestos shovelers were in the bread line. I don’t think my buddy Earlie ever found another job. smile

Halen went international after that, got into pharmaceuticals, and energy drinks. Manville had significant debts but the brow fields and superfunds grants were diverted to research and development of GLUG. Although I think the idea was stolen.
