JRP: Were there increased incidence of respiratory ailments in the area at that time?
No idea. It was the '60s, '70s, and '80s. No one seemed to monitor that sort of thing back then -- industrial polution was a given. It's only in the past 25 years or so that folks have smartened up. I suspect that had something to do with the move to Florida.
I do know the air was thick with resin fumes in a large radius around that plant -- it was nasty. Can't imagine what working conditions were like inside, and don't doubt the description above.
