    One time we were considering replacing the tables outside of the church for socials. One member stated we needed to get the same excellent paint we painted the old tables with so many years before. Raymond Truesdale, one of our deacons, explained the old paint was from mixing all the parts of buckets of paint the members had lying around their homes. As I recall, it wound up looking much like John Deer Green.

    That was back in the late 60s.

    Great recycling. Good paint price for residents.
