Last week there was an article in the Obit section. It said "Charles "Cash" Brown, 57, died on January 30 th (I think) 2012 in Jeffersonville. E.M. Coots in charge of arrangements". That was all it said. A number of here at DuPont assumed and thought it was the Charlie Brown who used to work here. I even called the funeral home to get more information, and they just said he was already cremated and that a Memorial Service would be on Saturday, February 4th at 10:00 am and service would be at 12:00 noon, and this is all they said. On Friday, I called the church 1st Trinity over on Spring Street, and tried to get more information, but nobody would acknowledge me. I was going to go to the church on Saturday to go to the memorial, but I had to take care of my mother, so, I couldn't go. The question is, Was that the Charlie brown that used to work for Dupont? I guess we will never know!

Hello All,
I was thinking of how to distribute an employment message and I remembered your site. I am presently working at Reynolds Packaging at 28th and Hale as an electrician; 2 months into a 6 month probationary period. They are currently interviewing for 3 new positions, electrical. Will you be able to share this info thru your distribution list? This announcement was in the Sunday paper 2 weeks ago. I believe all applications are done at 6th and Cedar Employment Office.
Also, Ramon Gibbs and Clarence Jordan work there as operators; Ramon about one year and CJ 9 months.
Feel free to contact me if you need further info.
Thanks and take care...Ray Kreutzer, Jr.
Hi everyone.
I have started working again. I am the Maintenance Supervisor at Louisville Packaging. I am working with Harold Hathorne and Kenny Lardner. Don't feel sorry for me! We are having fun. Louisville Packaging hires temps all the time. It doesn't pay a lot to start, but it is a job. If any of you all know someone that needs a job, call the plant and ask for Debbie. She will give you the temp service number. Mention that you know one of us and that should help. I miss all of you and pray that you are doing well.
God Bless You All and Merry Christmas.

Hello All: I have published The Book:
Caregiving: A Daughter's Story - Life After Loss - Surviving Caregiving
by Janice Baldon-Gutter
Caregiving: A Daughter's Story tells the story of a Daughter who experienced the surprise, joys and pain of watching loved ones become ill and eventually die. Suddenly she became the decision maker for those who once made decisions for her. When did the roles change from carefree child to adult caregiver for the loving parents who raised her? How did she cope and survive the process? Learn how an average person, like you, learned to make healthcare and other professionals LISTEN and work with her (and not dictate to her) to make decisions on behalf of loved ones. Read the story of an ordinary person coping with the stresses and joys of caregiving for loved ones, how to survive through the caregiving process, and how to say "NO" to others when caregiving is over.
Part I - Preparing, Surviving Through and Live Life After Caregiving
Part II - My Story of Caregiving
Part III - Moving on - Plant closing, Marriage, Losing Friends, Learning to Say NO to others when caregiving is over.

My wife was talking with a DuPont retiree at McDonalds where she works. The subject was the employees who were killed in the August 1965 explosion. He couldn't think of but a few of the names and I admit I can't remember them either. Could you post it on the web site or e-mail me with the names? It would be greatly appreciated.

Hi you all!
What a wonderful website!
With me, it is just one *@#*+!! thing after another. It is what it is, and life goes on, so I just bounce back after each surgery and look forward to the next day. It is amazing what I've learned to endure. However I am living the good life and enjoying going to our Green County, Ky. farm real often. I sure miss the friends I made at DDE for 27 years.
Hope to see you sometime soon. Top of the morning to all!
