"We sold parts to Behlen in their ag division. And I remember going up there. And they had one of the buildings actually set up inside the display room. They had it painted kind of an iridescent red and it showed – it showed the pictures of it going through the blast and the shock waves. Yeah, I remember that, yeah.
"It was a great boon for Behlen because it was a curvete building if I recall. And it certainly lended stature to their company. And of course that curvete building was used all over on the farm for machinery storage and grain storage. That was great."
