Our history

Farnam Operating Amphitheatre

"I remember mending hundreds of torn rubber gloves in Farnam whenever there was any spare time. The pile never got any smaller and it was terribly boring and frustrating. Frank, that character who might have been Charon, incarnate, knew how discouraged I was, so one day he accidentally swept about 75 of them into his pail. Not a word was spoken. For days you could smell them burning in the incinerator. I was frightened at first, thinking someone kept track of the number; however the pile was just as big the next day."
