        My recollection is that the stint owning ST was brief and prices
during that period skyrocketed, no doubt contributing to the problems,
after which the ST operation was sold to the current owners, Jones & Bradburn.
        After this the boiler business did chug along, with the usual
suspect at the helm, apparently successfully (apparently being the key
word), until perhaps two years or so ago when the usual suspect announced a
retirement due to poor health.  It was at that time the forms and tooling
of the cheese district company were acquired by others, two former
employess if memeory serves, who are now the current proprietors.  Sorry to
be so vague.

Harry
