I did not want put too discriptive of a word in the title
and will try to avoid them in my question. (it's also the reason for mis-speelings)
This is regarding those who are licensed in the use of dinomyte.
If a licensed person (sole proprietor) dies, does the Fed Gov automatically
come out and deal with the person's inventory or is that
the responsibilty of the family ?
Let's just say this person passed away 20 years ago,
and if he had a license, he would have gotton it in the late 40's or 50's.
Maybe he never had a license ? Maybe learned it in the service ?
I just don't know ?
His Son (my friend) and his family live on this farm now.
I was under the impression, he may have been taught by
his Dad how to use it, but I suspect no one else in the family was.
I am one of very few that know about this inventory.
because I did some tree cutting, about 10 years ago,
near this small tin outhouse in the middle of his woods,
where the inventory is stored.
My friend said, becareful where you drop this tree,
then he unlocked the door and showed me the contents,
5 to 10 cases, stacked up, sitting on a dirt floor and leaning to one side,
due to the bottom two cases are obviously
decaying and slumping...a whiteish mold precititating (yeah, I know it's not
mold and I know it's dangorous...hence this question.)
He hadn't opened that shed since the year his dad passed away 12 years earlier,
when he seen the condition, he was a little worried, but we didn't do anything
about it then...I assume nothing has been done since, but I'm not sure.
This woods is more like a 100 acre junkyard with trees,
it's an obsticle course just to get to the middle where the tin outhouse is.
Also, it's a strange family situation, I can't really go into it.
I think the rest of the family may know of this inventory,
but I am not sure, even if they know or knew of it, I don't know
if they know where it is?
I never gave this stuff much thought...til yesterday, when I found out
my friend committed suicide last week. I worry about what will happen
to that property (ownershipwise) because of the strange family situation.
I suspect the widow and children will not stay on that farm.
I also worry what could happen if the wrong people discover that tin outhouse,
if those wrong people are innocent children ? or a new landowner cleaning
up the place with a skidsteer or worse, a uneducated redneck with a stump
he doesn't like...there are some of those in the family tree.
I feel I should talk to the widow about this as soon as she seems comfortable with
the subject,
Or should I contact the local authorities ? or should the Fed's should be notified ?
Or should I mind my own beeswax and just forget it and not talk to anyone about it ?
thanks for any input you may have.
