Don lived in the Single Men's quarters when he worked at the station. He can remember when ther was an old steam truck where the roller dryers now are, the boiler was disconnected from the engine and a steam pipe was connected. That was used to drive a vacuum dryer for the meat meal. A big seperator was just around the corner on the eastern side of the digesters.
