KILLDEER’S ROCKY NEST —
While working near the solvent re
covery system of Film Division’s
Pisgah Forest plant, David Glenn
of Ecusta Maintenance was at
tracted by the odd behavior of a
killdeer that would run, chirp and
feign injury whenever anyone
walked near a certain spot. Only
after the intruder had left would
the bird becalm its ruffled feathers.
His curiousity up, Glenn followed
the bird’s return to that spot one
day, only to get too close. It went
through its antics again, pretending
to have a broken wing, in an ob
vious effort to draw Glenn away
from the pecan-size eggs camou-
glaged against the gravel nest.
Glenn said that shortly thereafter
the chicks hatched and disappeared
the same day.
TOWARD A HAPPIER RETIRE
MENT — Preparing to make the
transition successfully to a happy
retirement, employees in the 59-65
age bracket and their spouses have
responded enthusiastically to the
pre-retirement seminars at Pisgah
Forest, believed to be the first con
ducted by an industry in Western
North Carolina. The initial group is
shown in these photos listening to
Harold Carrick of Hendersonville,
one of the many resource persons
who spoke on a wide variety of
topics. As the second seminar
neared completion, plans were un
derway for the third session to be
gin in August.
