buying a bunch of small steel mills and consolidating. The people that
were let go were all that were left from the original crew. Sad thing is
that the HQ in Pennsylvania doesn't have a melt shop like her mill did and
has no clue how to handle that. Oh, well.

She's had a nibble already - much less money, but at least it would be
something for now. If the Veterans Administration would just come through
with what we're owed, we'd actually be fine on my salary and continue to
use hers plus her Social Security to finish paying off credit cards and
re-build a cushion.
