Robert Dixon worked at GE and the telephone company before he started at NEL in 1958. He grew up within one mile of the quarry, but he later moved further away. He worked as a machinist, making parts for most of the equipment, but he,
"did just about everything when I had the time."
His sister, Gene, worked at the plant as well. He retired in 1980.
