Robinson Clay photo kindles fond memories


By Linda Smith Dale
 
Enjoyed seeing the picture on the Blog of Robinson Clay Products.
 
I can remember when some of the workers’ cabins were
moved on the back of trucks up to the air field near the
Firetower.
 
The field was across from Hess's farm (field used to pick up mail) and is now the Haney Development.
 
Those cabins were set in the field and refurbished to
be used as rentals. A dirt road was created to access
the cabins. It seems to me it was sometime in the 50's
before RCP closed. I watched the trucks from
Yeager's yard as they came up Wrigley road and continued
up to the air field.
 
Remember also watching the planes swoop down to
retrieve the mail bags in the years before it was closed.
 
What wonderful memories from my childhood.
 
Seeing Dan's picture brought it all back.
