The Resurrection of Robert Potvin in Stamford
Stamford sawmill owner Robert J. Potvin pledged to rebuild after a $500000 August 13 fire consumed his central building and machinery. He laid off workers, installed a portable mill beside the ruins, and planned a fireproof, more efficient plant using sawdust for fuel. Potvin spoke of renewed purpose and a monument of a charred sugar maple stump.
