I was in Spain to work at Concorde Trading Company in Asua, and help its sister foundry, the nearby Continental de Recuperation. I occasionally had a business reason to go there, but generally I didn't do much there. The best story I heard about Continental de recuperation was from Rita. One day she drove up and saw all the Spanish workers standing outside, grinning, while black smoke rolled out the open foundry door. In answer to her question, they said that Dennis was in there, burning the covering off of copper wire. That, of course, was illegal. When the police arrived, Dennis told them, in his broken but emphatic Spanish, that he had been smoking and the stuff just caught on fire. They didn't believe him and the company got fined, but he got his copper wire clean!
