Vee I lived on Maple Avenue in Niagara Falls from 1933 to 1944. My memory is not the greatest but it seems to me that the Vanadium plant was across the tracks at the foot of Maple Avenue and a bit to the north. My Father took us by the plant a time or two when out on a drive. He taught at South Junior High School from 1918 to 1944. My brother Jack worked at National Carbon during the summer of 41. Then went to Purdue for a year before being drafted into WWII. Bob AZ
