Saturday was a "Use-to-Work-Together, Get-Together" at Calhoun Park for former employees of BF Goodrich. The company once had production plants at Grantsville and Spencer, before the jobs were globalized.
The group recalled memories of a time not so long ago that jobs were to be had, even in rural West Virginia, before they went abroad.
