Plant workers

This is a longshot as the plant closed over 70 years ago, but does anyone know if there are any workers still alive who worked at the Lc Smith gun Works when it closed. They would more than likely be in their 90s.

Not aware of any still alive now, but on utube there are some Rich Beyer videos that he interviews at least one that was living then. I believe there are 4 or 5 videos posted on utube.

Gary posted the video I was speaking about, I believe once you watch that one there will be links to the next ones.

The first few minuets are bad but it clears up to be watchable.I think the original was 1 hour long, and this may be it? a bit interesting was the last few minuets,and talk of nickle plating.
