This is a very sad story and my heart bleeds for these folks. We live in Rochester, NY and I come from a long line of family members who spent their entire careers at Kodak, who also declared bankruptcy last Januuary. Retirees are now losing their health care and life insurance as of Jan 1 and we had to hear it on the local news first. When I began there in the late 70s there were appox. 70k people employed in Rochester alone, now they are down to less than 3k. It is a sad state of affairs. However, I am fortunate to be under my husband's benefits. We still built our dream home in TV last summer when this was all going on and will be there full time eventually, but this has created a delay in our plans. I cringe each time I hear of another company going bankryprupt now.
