"I was a heavy equipment operator at the limestone quarry for forty-three years. You know...pit loaders, bucket loaders. The big haul trucks. I also was certified to operate the shipping loader. Then the air force came in and the quarries were closed. I was OK because I was close to retirement anyway. Felt bad for the younger guys.
We were constructing a multi-story building. I was on second shift, operating an excavator when I noticed something in the dirt and got out to take a look. It was part of a skeleton.
I notified the shift supervisor and he stopped work. A forensic team drove down from Visby and they said it was the skeleton of a girl and that it was really old. Then a team of scientists from the University in Stockholm came out to investigate and it turned out to be an important historical discovery.
I got my name in the paper! That hadn't happened since the birth of my daughter...oh and that incident with...um.....never mind...what was your question?

What does Furillen mean to me? Well I never really thought about it before. It meant that I could support my family so I guess it means a lot."
