  General Notes:

This story from Nancy R. Scott posted on Facebook December 2016:
Althea and Bob both worked for Kimberly-Clark in Menasha, Wisconsin, the paper company, who were doing other things as well, but became famous for Kleenex. One summer when I was a child visiting, Althea used me as a guinea pig to teach the workers on the line how to pack the Kleenex into the boxes so the first one pulled up and then each one pulled up the next one. This process had just been invented. She was a supervisor who had to train them to this new step in the packing, so she taught me over and over. A little piece of paper describing this marvelous procedure was folded into the top Kleenex, and it pulled up the first Kleenex. Then each one pulled up the next tissue. She explained how and why, and I did it and explained it back to her. I think of this often when I pull out a Kleenex. We were proud of Althea and Bob and the Kimberly-Clark paper mill.
Nancy (Beernink) Scott (1930- ) is Althea's niece. Nancy is, at this writing (Dec. 30, 2016) a retired Presbyterian minister, as is her husband, Walter Scott. They live in Urbana, IL.
