In 1983 Grandpa Hill, Don Hill, a young metallurgical engineer was assisting with an investigation to find the root cause of a gas line explosion in the Bayous of Lousiana. He expected adventure, success and a lot of work.
Dr. Ray Fessler was the lead investigator. Highly experienced, Ray came highly prepared but carried no tools. Don had the tools of the failure analysis trade, with him but never got to use them. Instead Ray’s piece of string was used to solve the problem.
While in New Orleans and In the Bayous and on Bourbon St. Don saw and did and thought things he didn’t want to see or do or think again, they weren’t worth it.
