How long have you been at Crane currency? And how does a wizard get a security clearance? I've only ever done a small amount of work there, and never on anything related to currency. Back before Crane sold it to Neenah, there was a GE Series Six on a line at Government mill. I got called in a couple of times on it.

I retired four years ago but I still do some occasional work at the plant that generates steam for you, Community ECO Power, the successor to Covanta. In fact I have to go in Thursday to prepare a monthly report for alternative energy credits. I'm not sure if Dave Boino is still working, but he and I used to work at Beloit Corp. (now GL&V) in Lenox. I used to work with Joe Giardina and Mark Rice when they were at Covanta.

A few years ago Crane and Covanta teemed up on a project to burn sludge from a settling pond. I did some of the controls work on the equipment to pump the sludge from the pond to the tanks at Covanta and to inject it into Covanta's combustors. The project was not a success. It turned out there was high concentration of lead in the sludge which exceeded Covanta's permitted level.
