Bad News!
I got a call today that International Paper Franklin Mill is closing. I was employed by Union Camp Corp for 19 1/2 years as a logger when they shut down the logging job and I was hired into the mill. In 1999 IP bought us out just as hurricane Floyd flooded the mill. Ive worked my way up the ladder, finally reaching my lifelong goal as a Millwright on the first of this year. Today they snatched the rug right out from under me. I've been on the phone and net all day trying to find something I can do with no luck. Jobs are scarce here. I live 30 min from the Va. line, and have called the shipyards but havent had any luck. Im not sure how much longer Ill have a job there, could be only a few weeks. If any of you fellas close by know of ANYTHING please let me know. Thanks
Carroll F.

Carroll, I'm really sorry to hear that. I have a number of friends and relatives in similar situations, and may face the same situation myself in 2010 if things don't improve.
I hope you're able to find something very soon. Keep looking -- there's bound to be someone who wants to hire a self motivated person.
