During the 1970's, a tornado came and wiped out a wing of the plant just minutes after workers were let off for work. <br /><br />One of the long-time employees I interviewed, also claimed the basement of Werthan is haunted (he cited cold spots, flash-lights going dead then starting up again and his wrist-watch stopping when he passed through certain spots of the basement).<br /><br />It's also rumored that the Werthan family mentioned in Driving Mrs. Daisy are the Nashville Werthans. Apparently, the author went to school with one of the family members.Boyer H. Barnernoreply@blogger.com
