It is the sister of one of the boats we have here at the station. The engineers get really upset if you get too rough with the boats. I can imagine what was being said on-board that one. The 47’ MLB is a super common design used by many countries for their short rescue boats. Between that and our Zodiac Hurricane 753 we can do some crazy stuff

This is actually a bit controversial as years ago Green Giant relocated it's asparagus canning to Chile (supposedly to help combat illegal drugs by giving the local farmers a non drug crop to raise) anyway there are many people still pissed off about it. Taking Green Giant out of Dayton would be like taking Boeing out of Seattle.

Green Giant made it possible for so many kids to go to college, my brother included and he ended up working in agriculture for life.

No different than the big rubber companies.here in Akron.
Goodyear moved their air spring plant, to mexico. In all the years it was down there, not a single "GOOD" air spring was ever produced.

They bused new people in each day, then paid them daily.
Never had the same person show back up for work.

Their now in Tennessee, I believe.
