Beyond the well publicized miscues, the lady did not take a back seat to anyone, was actively civic minded and was ahead of her time. George is a little bit phony - Marge, for all her faults, was the real thing. (Anyone who could take on General Motors and win gets my vote)http://www.enquirer.com/editions/2004/03/03/loc_schottmain.html p.s. Doggy, please find the "shift" key and QUIT SHOUTING, please.[}:)] (2) Purrington Brick got absorbed by the Alton Company (Maryland Heights / St. Louis) somewhere before Schottco (The Schott's family business) owned it as part of the purchase of Alton Co by Mr.Schott before he died in '68..... (3) Galesburg (yes, the same folks who are suing BNSF over the closing of the locomotive and car shops) probably would like to see development of the brick refractory on one hand, on the other they are probably chafing at the bit to stick their noses into the problems created at a refractory. Those busybodies probably are of the "somethin -for-nuthin" persuation that would make redevelopment of the white elephant site even more expensive. In the end, Schottco got stuck with a problem, not of its own creation. Time will tell..... [/quote] Well they will not close the Galesburg sop because Burlington is closing I will not take back my comments about Ms. Schott she had a big mouth also I'm a baseball fan and she led to the collasep of the Reds and she was too convertial
