To the best of my knowledge, the last tonewheel
Hammonds came off the line in the mid-70s.  You'd
think they might have had some people in their
20s and 30s working there, meaning some could
still be in their late 50s today.

On the other hand, in the last days of a dying
business, they might have laid-off most of the
low-seniority folks years earlier, so it could
have been a pretty old workforce the day the
lights were turned off.

BTW, anyone know what Harvey Olsen's connection
to Hammond was?  Was he an employee -- or just
well-acquainted with many Hammond insiders?
