86-Year-Old Runs Connecticut Beryl Mine in New Milford

At 86 Howard Hewitt operates the Merryall mine also known as the George Roebling mine in New Milford after 32 years as part time backhoe operator. Joe Courtright and Hewitt describe the mine’s history from 1880 open pit to wartime and postwar activity with beryl and semi precious gems. Hewitt notes current spotty beryl sales and markets, reflecting on mining’s role in history and a quip about World War III over beryl.
