Junior Bittle

Then: Junior Bittle worked as a loom technician in the weaving department for 41 years. Bittle obtained a job at the mill in 1962 through his father who was also employed there.

Now: Both Bittle and his wife - who worked in the security department - were laid off on July 30, 2003. Both have since retired.

Legacy of the mill: “I’m sure no one will ever forget that place. They’ll remember they made their living there.  That was a livelihood for most people in the area.”
