After Virginia passed away
I took a road trip out to the secure facility which made all kind of products and or supplied them for security and military fields even machine guns so I could take some pictures for her only living relative to show where she once worked . Needless to say after Virginia Passed and we cleaned her apartment we where very careful she did not bring any thing home from there we found some chemical samples which I turned over to Allegheny County Fire Academy to dispose of.
